OSCAR PREDICTION
Actor:
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Capote -- SHOULD WIN and WILL WIN -- an amazing performance that made the movie as great as it was
Terrence Howard, Hustle & Flow -- DID NOT SEE
Heath Ledger, Brokeback Mountain -- a brave choice of roles, but will come up short
Joaquin Phoenix, Walk the Line -- another amazing impersination and great performance
David Strathairn, Good Night, and Good Luck -- solid performance, but does not have the exposure of the other candidates
