Golden Globe Nominees: Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

The nominees:
CASEY AFFLECK, THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES
PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN, CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR
JOHN TRAVOLTA, HAIRSPRAY
TOM WILKINSON, MICHAEL CLAYTON
JAVIER BARDEM, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

My predictions: 4/5, picking Hal Holbrook over Tom Wilkinson.

No big suprises here, but I am continually dismayed by the inclusion of sub-par performances by great actors, especially those from "Michael Clayton". Otherwise, the list is pretty great. I assume Travolta falls out on the way to the Oscars and gets replaced by Hal Holbrook, and that is the final list.

Who will win? All bow to Javier Bardem. Though I would love to see Affleck take it, which would really help the film.
