OK - Now that I've seen "Ray", "Hotel Rwanda" and "Million Dollar Baby"

I have NO FLIPPING idea who should win Best Actor. I did see Johnny Depp in "Finding Neverland" and have not seen Leonardo DiCaprio in "Aviator". For me, it would be extremely difficult to choose between Jamie Fox and Don Cheadle!!

1. Don Cheadle. No doubt.

He is incredible in every role he plays. This one is special.

:bounce:

2. I agree about Don - I've liked him ever since 'Picket Fences'.

3. He was the only watchable one in that abomination

"Mission to Mars" or whatever the f*ck that was called, with Tim Robbins and Gary Sinise. Man that movie stank.

4. On pure art-of-the-actor, I'd probably give it to Jamie Fox

but damn, even in that aspect it's a hard choice, both these men are due their day.

Even so, I want Cheadle to win, and I wish I could see Hotel Rwanda sweep the awards, simply as a political/social statement. I didn't see what got nominations, so I don't know what it's chances are.

5. Sadly, "Hotel Rwanda" is not nominated in the Best Picture category

I wish it had been. But, it's the Hollywood thing, you know?
