• American Hustle
• Captain Phillips
• Dallas Buyers Club
• Gravity
• Her
• Nebraska
• Philomena
• 12 Years a Slave

Performance by an actor in a leading role - I think DiCaprio is a douche bag. Its nice they nominated Ojiofor, but he has much a chance winning this category as I do. I vote for McConaughy.

• Amy Adams, American Hustle
• Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
• Sandra Bullock, Gravity

Performance by an actor in a supporting role. They'll give it to Cooper because they didn't for his last one.

• Barkhad Abdi, Captain Phillips
• Bradley Cooper, American Hustle
• Michael Fassbender, 12 Years a Slave
