BREAKING NEWS: WILL NOMINATED FOR OSCAR

Your all so negative! i couldnt say who was gonna win bcoz ive only seen Will's film, at least we can say poh was more successful than the other movies.

I don't think people are being negative just realistic. This is a very tough category and probably the toughest category I've seen in years. Forrest Whitaker is the odds on favorite because he's won every Best Actor award so far. I'd go with Peter O'Toole second because he's a 7-time nominee without a win. Leo DiCaprio is the third choice because of his body of work(Titanic, Gangs of N.Y., Aviator, Blood Diamond, The Departed) and then Will is fourth.

There is an outside chance Will could win if the voters buy into the heartwarming story of Chris Garderner. There were some very powerful scenes in that movie and it could sway the voters to vote for the feel-good story.

I think he won't win :-( but my brother has a theory , he says he is gonna win because when halle berry and charize theron won the oscar they did a superhero movie(x-men & aeonflux) and he'll play a superhero this year ..... that's a crazy idea but who knows :3-laugh3:

Congrats to Will, it's gonna be a longshot for him to win though like many have stated, really this category is a tossup, basically everyone nominated was deserving
