Daniel Day-Lewis in “There Will Be Blood”
Johnny Depp in “Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”
Tommy Lee Jones in “In the Valley of Elah”

Prediction Score: 4/5
Reaction: Wow. Tommy Lee Jones makes it for a performance only previously nominated by the Golden Satellites. A prize for a good year most probably, and a shun to the young contenders to the Actor crown, Hirsch, Gosling and McAvoy. Oscar likes experience here.
