BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
The Nominees Are:
- Josh Brolin (Milk)
- Robert Downey Jr (Tropic Thunder)
- Philip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt)
- Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)
- Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road)
Erin’s Pick: Josh Brolin (Milk)
My Mom’s Pick: Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)
The Winner Last Year Was: Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men)
I’m giving my mom a freebie point on this one cuz Heath Ledger’s name is probably already engraved on the freakin’ statue. Now, although my mom says The Dark Knight is too dark, she also says that Ledger DID give a good performance in it.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
The Nominees Are:
- Amy Adams (Doubt)
- Penelope Cruz (Vicky Christina Barcelona)
- Viola Davis (Doubt)
- Taraji P. Henson (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)
- Marisa Tomei (The Wrestler)
Erin’s Pick: Amy Adams (Doubt)
My Mom’s Pick: Amy Adams (Doubt)
The Winner Last Year Was: Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton)
Neither of us have seen any of these movies, but we both enjoyed Amy Adams in Enchanted. By the way, I don’t think I’d be going out on a limb if I said that Marisa’s choice would undoubtedly be Marisa Tomei.
