1. The Household Names, and Previous Nominees.
Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Both for the same roles that their Golden Globe Noms were for. No surprise here.
2. The Guys You've Never Heard Of.
Jean Dujardin and Demian Bichir. Dujardin was expected and he did already win a Globe. Bichir on the other hand is quite a surprise, especially considering that he got nominated over Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Fassbender.
And the best for last...
3. The Guy That's Way Overdue.
Gary Oldman. It is a real shame that this is only Oldman's first nomination. He is a true cinematic treasure and someone who rarely, if ever, misses with a performance. He is ace as George Smiley in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and I am really hoping that he wins. He has some serious competition, but I could see him winning in much the same way that Scorsese did for The Departed. I do think he deserves it for this performance but the fact that he has previously been such a glaring omission from the Oscars is in his favor I think.
Let me know what you think and who you think did or didn't deserve a nod.
