This is probably one of the most difficult to forecast this year and the reason is that up to 4 players have a chance of winning the Oscar for Best Actor.

  Mickey Rourke party advantage having won the Golden Globe for Best Actor and is certain is that Mickey Rourke is prototype actor Golden Globe winner of that Oscar, the resurrection of an actor who has had major ups and downs in their professional and personal life could give him the Oscar.

  Sean Penn has won the SAG Actors Guild, and his film Milk liked among members of the academy and this is probably the only Oscar important are accessible. In return, Sean Penn has an Oscar and a second Oscar for putting up with Tom Hanks seems excessive, but for this, Sean Penn would be the best candidate.

  Brad Pitt has done a great role in the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Support Actor for 12 Monkeys, and it is really a great actor for his physical he was never recognized its merits. He could win although not winning any major prize this year is a little remaining options. Winning the Oscar would not have any doubt that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button would take the Oscar for Best Picture.

  Frank Langella for Frost / Nixon is another great option. His film and really liked it only has a chance of winning an Oscar, if not likely to earn his film does not win any Oscars. His performance has been discussed but that is not physically resemble Nixon it seems as if Anthony Hopkins in Nixon detract votes.

  Faced with these potential candidates is just that Richard Jenkins has no chance of winning the Oscar for Best Actor. His nomination has been his award and his chances of victory invalid.
