Here are the nominations:
- Philip Seymour Hoffman in “Capote”
- Terrence Howard in “Hustle & Flow”
- Heath Ledger in “Brokeback Mountain”
- Joaquin Phoenix in “Walk the Line”
- David Strathairn in “Good Night, and Good Luck.”
Hoffman is the big favorite, unfortunately I still haven’t seen Capote. Strathairn and Phoenix were both fine as their respecting real personalities. I really liked Howard as the pimp-turned-rapper, he really convinced me that he was a good man, and had a lot to say in his songs. Another performance that really touched me is Ledger’s Ennis. I’ve rarely seen a character as conflicted as Ennis, who also keeps that frustration inside and never lets it out, and later on he will regret it. Just an amazing performance, this is my favorite.
