While I love this category this year, it is also the source of the biggest snub of all the nominations! This category is very strong this year. Christian Bale is the obvious front runner in my eyes. He is also my favorite. He was absolutely perfect in The Fighter. From two minutes into that movie, I thought Bale should and would win. He totally made that movie what it was. His performance was so dynamic, and I completely forgot that he was Christian Bale. Other than him, everyone was good, but no one compares. The snub is Andrew Garfield. He definitely should have been nominated for his role in The Social Network. Mark Ruffalo took his place, and I don't think he was very deserving of a nomination; especially when it kicked Andrew Garfield back. I am a huge Mark Ruffalo fan, don't get me wrong, but I don't really consider him a great actor. I thought his performance in The Kids Are All Right was very one-sided.
Best Supporting Actress
Again, a very strong category. There isn't much to say about it. Melissa Leo should win and is going to. She was amazing in The Fighter. She will win it in a landslide. She was awesome. Leo, along with Christian Bale, totally stole that movie. She was perfect as the crazy, overbearing stage mom. My second choice would probably be Hailee Steinfeld, but I don't think she has a chance in hell against the competition. I am kind of disappointed that Mila Kunis wasn't nominated. I thought her performance in Black Swan was haunting. I can't really compare her to the woman who is nominated instead of her, I didn't see Animal Kingdom.
