Waiting for Oscar?: The British Invasion for Best Supporting Actor

The Brits always seem to do well come Oscar time, and this list highlights a number of recognisable actors who could do well to get into the Best Supporting Actor category in future years. It's a Hollywood staple to cast the Brit as the "baddie" or the cuckolded husband to a smooth American leading man, but why not if the Academy notices?

1. Michael Sheen – playing Tony Blair alongside Helen Mirren’s Oscar-winning “The Queen” was a precursor to this year’s role as David Frost in “Frost / Nixon”. Will he get his nom this year? British fans may be intrigued to see him as Brian Clough in 2009’s “The Damned United”.

2. Ciaran Hinds – a superb actor in any number of films. His appearance always seems to change, but look out for him in “Munich”, “Road to Perdition”, “Veronica Guerin”, “Miami Vice”, “Margot at the Wedding”, and “There Will Be Blood”.

3. Brian Cox – another brilliant performer, and he really has been unlucky not to have had an Oscar nomination come his way. Think of Hannibal Lecter in “Manhunter” before Anthony Hopkins took over the role, or Matt Damon’s foe in “The Bourne Identity” and “The Bourne Supremacy”. Also excellent in “25th Hour”, “Running With Scissors”, “Adaptation”, “Troy”, “The Boxer”, and “L.I.E.”.

4. Ray Winstone – I think he’s great in British movies, but when will Hollywood realise that he cannot do accents? So “Nil By Mouth”, “Face”, “The War Zone”, “Last Orders”, and “Sexy Beast” ..... excellent. “Cold Mountain” and “The Departed” .... can someone find him a dialect coach? But America must like him or he wouldn’t be in the latest “Indiana Jones” instalment!

5. Brendan Gleeson – right off the bat I believe he should have been Oscar nominated for his brilliant performance as Martin Cahill in “The General”. Film fans will know him from “Braveheart”, “The Butcher Boy”, “The Tailor of Panama”, “28 Days Later”, “Gangs of New York”, “In Bruges”, and the Harry Potter films.

6. Sean Bean – always with a hint of menace, Mr. Bean has had some decent roles - “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and “Ronin” in particular. Playing Macbeth in “Comes Like Shadow” alongside Tilda Swinton could be his time for a nomination.

7. Hugh Bonneville – I think Bonneville could shoot up this list with the right role. I first noticed him as the idiot dinner guest in “Notting Hill” who isn’t aware how famous Julia Roberts’ character is. He was terrific in “Iris” and “Stage Beauty”, and he stands out in “Scenes of a Sexual Nature”.

8. Martin Freeman – known to British audiences for his role alongside Ricky Gervais in “The Office”, he has been in a lot of film roles in a short period of time. I think he could be one actor whose star continues to rise.

9. Colin Firth – I think he was unlucky not to have rode the Oscar wave of “The English Patient”. Other notable roles have been in the “Bridget Jones” films, “Girl With a Pearl Earring”, “Love Actually”, and “And When Did You Last See Your Father?”. The Americans do seem to like prim and proper British types!

10. Michael Gambon – it helps his profile that he’s in the Harry Potter films, and he does showcase a wide range of roles. Have you seen him in “The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover”, “The Gambler” as Dostoyevsky, the hilarious “Gosford Park”, “Being Julia”, or “Charlotte Gray”?

Waiting for Oscar?: Indy Stars in the Mainstream!

It must be hard showing up in any number of movies where the average popcorn eater will vaguely recognise you, but not remember your name, nor be able to remember where they saw you. These are the "character actors" or better the "stars of Independent / low budget cinema". Occasionally they get a supporting role in a more mainstream movie, so perhaps Oscar will come calling eventually?

1. John Turturro – maybe he is easing into the mainstream with his role in the “Transformers” movies but I still think of the excellent Turturro enhancing this diverse group of movies: “Do The Right Thing”, “Barton Fink”, “Fearless”, “Quiz Show”, “The Big Lebowski”, “Rounders”, “The Luzhin Defence”, and “Margot at the Wedding”. He deserves a nomination!

2. Christina Ricci – she plays in a curious mix of movies, and as with “Monster” alongside Oscar-winner Charlize Theron, could put herself in a position to pick up a nomination in the future. Highlights include “The Ice Storm”, “Buffalo ‘66”, “Sleepy Hollow”, and “Prozac Nation”.

3. Stanley Tucci – a role in Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones” could push him in the Academy’s direction. “Big Night”, “The Terminal”, and “The Devil Wears Prada” are all highlights.

4. Hope Davis – blessed with a voice for irksome characters (such as in “About Schmidt” and “American Splendor”), she’s also had a good run in “Hearts in Atlantis”, “The Secret Lives of Dentists”, “Proof”, “The Weather Man”, and “Infamous”.

5. Sam Rockwell – consistently excellent in his slightly wacky performances. He could be a good bet for a Supporting Actor nomination based on previous form: “Lawn Dogs”, “The Green Mile”, “Galaxy Quest”, “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”, “Matchstick Men”, and “The Assassination of Jesse James”.

6. Steve Buscemi – as the line goes in “Fargo”, he’s “kinda funny looking”, but fun to watch. He made a mark in “Reservoir Dogs”, and through “Pulp Fiction”, “Trees Lounge”, “Con Air”, and “Ghost World” he has always been notable.

7. Adam Goldberg – I knew him from “Saving Private Ryan” and “A Beautiful Mind”, but “Zodiac” and particularly “Two Days in Paris” with Julie Delpy brought him to my attention as a good character actor.

8. Sarah Polley – she was excellent in “The Sweet Hereafter” and “The Claim”, plus has already been Oscar nominated for her Adapted Screenplay of the Julie Christie movie “Away From Her” that she directed. Will an acting nod follow?

9. Jason Schwartzman – his debut “Rushmore” raised high hopes, and his quirky on and off screen persona could be rewarded in future. Check out “The Darjeeling Limited”, “Shopgirl”, and “Marie Antoinette”.

10. Oliver Platt – he always manages to make me laugh, so I’ll assume a future nomination would be a wildly popular choice! “Pieces of April” is a personal highlight.

Waiting for Oscar?: Funny Man Goes Straight!

It is often hard for a comedian who has worked on American or British TV to transform their success into legitimate movie roles. Many of the following names are already big box office stars in film comedies, but unless they want to continue aging in front of their predominantly juvenile audiences, an Oscar will forever remain a dream. However, going by their appearances at the otherwise austere Academy Award ceremony, a few of these stars may actually take on more "serious" film roles and therefore find Oscar nominations are bestowed upon them with ease in the coming years!

1. Will Ferrell – his performance in “Stranger Than Fiction” was superb, so maybe he’s following Robin Williams down the ‘straight’ road to future Oscar glory? Woody Allen’s “Melinda and Melinda” also showed his serious acting chops, although “Semi-Pro”, “Blades of Glory”, “Talladega Nights”, and “Anchorman”, serve only to draw box office and (often very funny!) cheap laughs.

2. Jack Black – granted he’s unlikely to find Oscar glory with the forthcoming “Tropic Thunder”, but his forays into films like “Margot at the Wedding”, or even playing it low-key in “King Kong” or “The Holiday”, show that there might be more to Mr. Black than his entertaining “Tenacious D” musical offerings or a string of character-driven comedies (such as “Nacho Libre”, “The School of Rock”, “High Fidelity”, and “Be Kind Rewind”.)

3. Mike Myers – in a few years time, Myers might be Oscar-nominated for his remake of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, but until then, a career producing the “Wayne’s World”, “Shrek”, and “Austin Powers” franchises won’t convince many people that a talent for many voices is the equivalent of “serious” acting. Still, making that much money for big studios makes you many friends!

4. Sacha Baron Cohen – his Hollywood star is on the rise thanks to “Borat”. Once his “Bruno” character has similarly performed on the world stage, we may forget the likes of “Ali G” and see Baron Cohen in more high-brow projects. Tim Burton’s “Sweeney Todd” was an early glimpse.

5. Steve Carell – setting aside his contributions to Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show” in addition to his recent success with the American TV remake of “The Office”, Carell is carving out quite a bit of success in Hollywood. This summer’s action comedy “Get Smart” followed the charming “Dan In Real Life”, while “Evan Almighty”, “Little Miss Sunshine”, and “The 40 Year Old Virgin” all showed his talent for being the butt of many jokes.

6. Steve Coogan – a well-known TV personality in the UK, with characters Paul Calf and Alan Partridge making it hard for film audiences to accept him in any other roles. Michael Winterbottom’s forthcoming “Murder in Samarkand” might change that, although he was excellent in the witty “A Cock and Bull Story”.

7. Jim Carrey – has he missed the boat? He had a run of terrific performances in “The Truman Show”, “Man on the Moon”, “The Majestic”, and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” to counter his “Dumb and Dumber” / “Ace Ventura” persona .... but no nominations. Surely the Academy will remember him eventually?!

8. Simon Pegg – it is truly one of the mysteries of modern cinema how he has achieved any degree of popularity, in my mind! I suppose playing a lovable loser has worked for any number of actors, but “Shaun of the Dead”, “Hot Fuzz”, and “Run Fatboy Run” don’t appeal to me. However, his upcoming roles in “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People”, and the new version of “Star Trek”, show he has come to Hollywood’s attention.

9. Adam Sandler – question: how many “Sandman” movies does it take to make me laugh? Answer: I’ll never know. After “Happy Gilmore”, “Billy Madison”, “The Wedding Singer”, “The Waterboy”, “Big Daddy”, and “Little Nicky”, my eyes were hurting from stabbing pencils into them. However, Paul Thomas Anderson’s misfire “Punch Drunk Love” aside, Sandler in “Reign Over Me”, “Spanglish”, and “Click” gave me hope that he isn’t completely one-dimensional. The Academy does tend to reward names that generate plenty of box office. But he may have to wait a while!

10. Seth Rogen – he has crept in under the radar with roles in “40 Year Old Virgin” and “Superbad”, but it was his turn in “Knocked Up” as an expectant father that brought Rogen into the mainstream. As long as he sticks close to Judd Apatow, or transforms the good will from his leading man comic roles into something substantial, an Oscar nomination for some quirky role in a “award worthy” movie might be in his future.

Waiting for Oscar?: Pretty Girls Can Act Can't They?

Aside from the big-name leading ladies, there is another group of recognisable actresses who often get noticed for their physical appearance. But are they good enough to do more than show up at the Oscars to look pretty and present the statues to other performers? Maybe these names will join the "superstar" list?

1. Jessica Biel – Hollywood seems to love Ms. Biel at the moment. She’s got a number of leading roles in the works, and already attracted attention for “The Illusionist” and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”.

2. Rosario Dawson – recently seems to have entered the world of Tarantino and Rodriguez, but stands out for differing reasons in “Alexander”, “25th Hour”, “Ash Wednesday”, and “He Got Game”.

3. Eva Mendes – a star on the rise for “We Own The Night”, “Trust the Man”, and “Hitch”, but she could feel the lure of a number of action films.

4. Amanda Peet – quietly she is a really good actress. “Igby Goes Down”, “Something’s Gotta Give”, and “Syriana” have been her noteworthy roles.

5. Emmanuelle Chriqui – looking good in an Adam Sandler movie isn’t necessarily the sign of a future Oscar winner, but films like “Cadillac Records” alongside Adrien Brody and Beyonce Knowles might put her in the right direction.

6. Megan Fox – the “Transformers” movies have put her on the map – but what next?

7. Kate Beckinsale – the British actress hasn’t hit the heights after “Brokedown Palace”, “Pearl Harbor”, “Serendipity”, and “Laurel Canyon”. Husband Len Wiseman has her on the vampires and action route, so we’ll see if more Oscar-friendly fare is on the horizon.

8. Vera Farmiga – best-known as Matt Damon’s girlfriend in the Oscar-winning “The Departed”, and very different as a prostitute trying to sweet-talk Jude Law in “Breaking and Entering”. A steady string of roles is coming her way, so will an Oscar nomination result?

9. Michelle Monaghan – Ben Stiller’s love interest in “The Heartbreak Kid” followed roles in “Gone Baby Gone”, “Mission Impossible III”, “North Country”, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”, “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”, and “The Bourne Supremacy”.

10. Rachel Bilson – she should really be listed under TV stars who could make the grade on the big screen for her time in “The O.C.”, but catching Zach Braff’s eye in “The Last Kiss” led to “Jumper” and the “New York, I Love You” ensemble. Maybe this is just the start?

Waiting for Oscar?: Pretty Boys Can Act, Can't They?

This is an interesting category, as I consider all of the following to be actors who are perhaps considered for their “movie star good looks”, while trying hard to be appreciated for their acting abilities.

1. Billy Crudup– how has he not been nominated already??! He always plays interesting roles – check out “Stage Beauty”, “Almost Famous”, “Jesus’ Son”, “Big Fish”, “The Good Shepherd”, “Trust the Man”, “Without Limits”, “Waking The Dead”, or “The Hi-Lo Country”. He’s soon to be seen playing J. Edgar Hoover in Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies” chasing gangster Jonny Depp.

2. Jared Leto – Like Crudup who played the runner Steve Prefontaine in “Without Limits”, Leto portrayed him in “Prefontaine”. He also stood out for roles in “Chapter 27”, “American Psycho”, “Requiem for a Dream”, and “Alexander”.

3. Ryan Phillippe – the former “Mr. Reese Witherspoon” would like to emulate his ex’s Oscar victory. “Stop-Loss” didn’t capture audiences as intended, but he’s had weighty roles in “Breach”, “Crash”, “Igby Goes Down”, and “Gosford Park”.

4. Josh Hartnett – From “Pearl Harbor” to “O”, “Black Hawk Down”, and “The Black Dahlia” he hasn’t been short of screen time.

5. Orlando Bloom – being in the “Lord of the Rings” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogies can’t have hurt his career, but “Troy”, “Kingdom of Heaven”, “Elizabethtown”, haven’t propelled him towards Oscar glory just yet.

6. Hayden Christensen – there was plenty written about his role as Anakin Skywalker in the new “Star Wars” movies, but for signs of his ability, “Life as a House”, “Shattered Glass”, and “Factory Girl” are more revealing.

7. Michael Pitt – no relation to Brad! See him in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”, “The Dreamers”, and “Silk”, with a role in Oliver Stone’s new Vietnam pic “Pinkville” coming next.

8. Alessandro Nivola – perhaps not a household name, but “Laurel Canyon” and “Junebug” show him in a good light.

9. Jim Caviezel – best known for Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ”, he also was noteworthy in Terrence Malick’s “The Thin Red Line”. He’s also had leading roles in “The Count of Monte Cristo” and “Angel Eyes”.

10. Kevin Bacon – “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” theory aside, he may well have worked with everyone in Hollywood and be popular enough to one day pick up an Oscar nod, most likely in the Supporting Actor category. “Mystic River”, “Apollo 13”, “A Few Good Men” and “JFK” had him in Oscar movies, while “Murder in the First” and “The Woodsman” were his award-worthy roles.

Waiting for Oscar?: The Multicultural Awards Experience!

In the 21st century it feels terribly wrong to highlight a category of actors and actresses for the colour of their skin. However, in recent years, a feature of the Oscar experience has been the self-congratulation of the Academy when African-Americans are awarded (or nominated for) Oscars.

In 2006, Forest Whitaker won Best Actor for “The Last King of Scotland”, and other black nominees were Eddie Murphy, Djimon Hounsou, and Will Smith. In 2005, Terrence Howard and Sophie Okonedo made it into the acting categories, while in 2004 the Best Actor and Supporting Actor Oscars went to Jamie Foxx (“Ray”) and Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”) respectively. In 2001, both top awards went to Denzel Washington (“Training Day”) and Halle Berry (“Monster’s Ball”).

It’s no longer an anomaly when the acting nominees aren’t 100% white, but I feel the mainstream media may still flag such nominations as being noteworthy in the future. For what it’s worth, I think there are a number of quality actors and actresses who have a great chance at getting Oscar nominations, and therefore destined to be immediately compared with their illustrious predecessors.

1. Zoe Saldana – perhaps not a household name as yet, but that may change with the new “Star Trek” movie, and James Cameron’s forthcoming “Avatar”. She was in Spielberg’s “The Terminal”, played Ashton Kutcher’s girlfriend in “Guess Who”, as well as the Dennis Quaid / Forest Whitaker film “Vantage Point”.

2. Jeffrey Wright – I first noticed Wright as the artist “Basquiat”, and he’s moved between a variety of roles since: Woody Allen’s “Celebrity”, “Ride With the Devil”, “Ali”, “The Manchurian Candidate”, “Syriana”, and most recognisably as American CIA agent Felix Leiter in both Daniel Craig Bond outings. Look out for him as General Colin Powell in Oliver Stone’s forthcoming Bush drama “W.”

3. Thandie Newton – beautiful, British, and talented! Thandie has flirted with the Oscars in both “The Pursuit of Happyness” and “Crash”, although other performers received nominations. She was stunning in Bertolucci’s film “Besieged”, and since going down the comedy route with “Run Fat Boy Run” and “Norbit”, will playing Condoleeza Rice in Oliver Stone’s “W.” put her on the awards track?

4. Chiwetel Ejiofor – he could be a great bet for Hollywood superstardom, having played second fiddle to Denzel Washington in Spike Lee’s “Inside Man” and Ridley Scott’s “American Gangster”. He’s had good roles in “Dirty Pretty Things” and “Children of Men”, so will David Mamet’s “Redbelt” or Roland Emmerich’s big budget “2012” get him noticed?

5. Beyonce Knowles – she’s already a singing superstar, and it seems Hollywood wants to build her up too. “Dreamgirls” showcased her acting alongside her singing, and playing Etta James in “Cadillac Records” will likely do the same. Following that is the thriller “Obsessed”.

6. Naomie Harris – British actress known for roles in two of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, as well as “28 Days Later”, “A Cock and Bull Story”, and “Miami Vice” alongside Farrell and Foxx.

7. Dennis Haysbert – arguably should have been nominated at the same time as Julianne Moore for “Far From Heaven” in 2002. He played Nelson Mandela in “Goodbye Bafana”, is well-known for the TV series “24”, starred opposite Michelle Pfeiffer in “Love Field”, and was terrific in two baseball movies “Major League” and “Mr. Baseball”!

8. Danny Glover – he’s one of those likeable and recognisable actors who you know from being Mel Gibson’s buddy in the “Lethal Weapon” films, but has starred in a number of Oscar-calibre movies too. They include “Witness”, “The Color Purple”, “Beloved”, “Grand Canyon”, and “The Royal Tenenbaums”.

9. Omar Metwally – he was superb as the husband of Reese Witherspoon in “Rendition”, and should get attention for co-starring with Anthony Hopkins in James Ivory’s “The City of Your Final Destination”. An American actor with Dutch / Egyptian parentage.

10. Shaun Toub – British actor with Persian roots, he was in “Crash”, the big budget “Iron Man”, and most notably “The Kite Runner”.

Waiting for Oscar?: Foreign Stars With Subtitles!

Oh the Oscars LOVE subtitles! If the movie seems serious, and your acting looks pretty good, even if we can’t understand what you’re saying, then Hollywood is ready to celebrate you! Witness last year’s Best Actress winner, Marion Cotillard, for “La Vie En Rose”. Well, at least her singing in French made a change from just reading subtitles for the duration of the performance. In recent years, Roberto Benigni took Best Actor in 1997 for “Life Is Beautiful”, and Fernanda Montenegro was nominated for her leading Actress role in the Brazilian film “Central Station” in 1998. Ken Watanabe’s Supporting nomination for “The Last Samurai”, alongside Tom Cruise, was in Japanese. Catalina Sandino Moreno for “Maria Full of Grace”, and Penelope Cruz for “Volver”, were both Best Actress nominees for their performances given in Spanish. Adriana Barraza and Rinko Kikuchi were nominated for their Supporting Actress roles in the multi-lingual “Babel” in 2006. Spanish actor Javier Bardem won his recent Supporting Actor Oscar for “No Country for Old Men”, although his performance was in English. Here are the prominent “foreign” stars who have a good chance at getting Oscar recognition in the future, either for roles in English, or in their native tongues.

1. Gael Garcia Bernal – a superb Mexican actor noted for his roles in “The Motorcycle Diaries”, “Amores Perros”, “Babel”, “Y Tu Mama Tambien”, and Almodovar’s “Bad Education”.

2. Daniel Brühl – this German actor is best-known for “The Edukators”, “Joyeux Noel”, and “Goodbye Lenin!”, in addition to small roles in “The Bourne Ultimatum” and Julie Delpy’s “2 Days in Paris”.

3. Mathieu Amalric – he has really come to Hollywood’s attention in the past few years, having been prolific in French cinema for several decades. His stunning performance as Jean-Do Bauby in Julian Schnabel’s “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” followed on from a key role in Spielberg’s “Munich”. Look for him in the new Bond movie, “Quantum of Solace”.

4. Mads Mikkelsen – best-known as the weeping eyed poker opponent of Daniel Craig in “Casino Royale”, this Danish actor should have been nominated for the beautiful Best Foreign Language Oscar nominated “After the Wedding”.

5. Vincent Cassel – one half of European cinema’s golden couple (with the Italian beauty, Monica Belluci – see no. 9!) and son of the late Jean-Pierre Cassel, Frenchman Vincent has been seen in “Ocean’s Thirteen”, “Eastern Promises”, “Derailed”, and “Birthday Girl”. His notable French roles include “Irreversible”, “L’Appartement”, and the celebrated black and white tale of Parisian urban youth, “La Haine”.

6. Audrey Tautou – she may always be known as the delightful “Amelie”, but look out for her in the forthcoming biopic about Coco Chanel. Will this role do for her what Edith Piaf did for Oscar winner Marion Cotillard? Audrey has also been in “The Da Vinci Code”, “Dirty Pretty Things”, and “A Very Long Engagement”.

7. Thomas Kretschmann – in Adrien Brody’s Oscar-winning “The Pianist”, German Kretschmann played the Nazi officer who showed compassion to the Pole in hiding. He has also been in “Downfall”, “King Kong”, and will be seen in Tom Cruise’s World War Two drama “Valkyrie”.

8. Franka Potente – another German, she came to prominence in “Run Lola Run”, but was Matt Damon’s captive love interest in the Bourne movies. Her profile should rise again as she is in Soderbergh’s pair of Che Guevara films, “The Argentine” and “Guerrilla”.

9. Monica Belluci – Italian Belluci could have been nominated for her lead role in “Malena” back in 2000. Hollywood came calling with roles in both of the Matrix sequels, as well as Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ”.

10. Antonio Banderas – Spaniard Banderas probably suffered from being cast as a pretty boy, but he’s respected as a decent actor. “Philadelphia”, “Evita”, a couple of Zorro movies, and voicing Puss in Boots for the “Shrek” franchise have kept him busy. Will Richard Eyre’s “The Other Man” get him noticed during awards season?
