Anyone but Heath Ledger. I haven't seen the other 3 but Downey Jnr was the only good thing about Tropic Thunder, and way better than Ledger.

oh dear poor kate winslet, im not sure she'll win anything now

 

[lexiedarnell]

God I'm shocked that revolutionary road got completely ignored.
Also I think it's a crying shame that Kirsten Scott Thomas didn't get nommed, over someone like Angelina, who wasn't bad, but come on? No where near the same league.
Think Kate won't win now as she was nommed for Reader not Revolutionary Road.
Coudl be interesting?
Delighted about The Visitor best actor nom, that was one of the films of the year for me

Yeah, well as much as Ledger put in an awesome performance in TDK, I can't help thinking that there has been some sympathy voting going on.

 

[NYCisthebomb]

I think he would have been nominated regardless, actually winning it is a whole different matter though.
