2012 Oscars - Will Christopher Plummer win Best Supporting Actor?
Yes -4000
No +1500
Plummer was first nominated for an Oscar two years ago in the Supporting Actor category for his work in The Last Station but the native of Toronto, Ontario certainly has to be considered the favorite for this year’s honor for his role in The Beginners, which stars Ewan McGregor and Melanie Laurent. He has essentially swept the Supporting Actor category throughout award season, picking up hardware from BAFTA, The Screen Actors Guild, the Golden Globes and from the Film Critics Associations chapters in Toronto, Los Angeles, Detroit and Indiana, among others.
Of course, Plummer will have to beat a solid list of actors, such as Kenneth Branagh (My Week With Marilyn), Jonah Hill (Moneyball), Nick Nolte (Warrior) and Max Von Sydow (Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close), but one omission has certainly aided his chances on February 26th. Albert Brooks has earned rave reviews for his performance in Drive, but he was left out of the Oscars and many entertainment experts feel he would have been the one to stop Plummer.
However, Von Sydow has emerged as the darkhorse candidate to stop Plummer’s march to break Jessica Tandy’s record, which she set for the win in the Best Actress category for her work in Driving Miss Daisy in 1989. With his earlier wins and his main competition missing out on a chance to compete for the Oscar, it looks like a clear road for Plummer to become a part of Academy Award history.
