Don Cheadle
Dark Horse Lead Actor: 'Talk to Me'
"Talk" represents another triumph for the actor, who, as a producer and activist, is also involved in trying to figure out a solution to the horrors in Darfur.

Chris Cooper
Dark Horse Lead Actor: 'Breach'
Turns out Cooper's biggest adversary wasn't Ryan Phillippe spying on him in "Breach" but rather the film's Feb. 16 release date.

John Cusack
Dark Horse Lead Actor: 'Grace is Gone'
This buttoned-down anti-Cusack performance proves the actor has always possessed range, but it's difficult to say if the pic will generate a lot of support outside of indie film circles.

Benicio Del Toro
Dark Horse Lead Actor: 'Things We Lost in the Fire'
Does a tree make a noise falling in the forest if nobody is there to hear it? Can an actor receive a nom for a movie that nobody saw?

Morgan Freeman
Dark Horse Lead Actor: 'The Bucket List'
Freeman goes toe-to-toe with him in "The Bucket List," and, as the two are both competing for lead actor noms, it's tough to say which one, if either, will make more of an impression on voters.

Ryan Gosling
Dark Horse Lead Actor: 'Lars and the Real Girl'
An indie and kudos darling, Gosling found himself a nominee last year for "Half Nelson" and, if the stars align again, could make the cut this time around, too.

Tom Hanks
Dark Horse Lead Actor: 'Charlie Wilson's War'
By reputation alone, Hanks is always a viable candidate, no matter the project.

Frank Langella
Dark Horse Lead Actor: 'Starting Out in the Evening'
After a small but memorable role in "Good Night, and Good Luck," his well-reviewed turn in "Evening" -- as an accomplished writer trying to put the finishing touches on his most recent book while being pursued by Lauren Ambrose -- could allow voters to give Langella his due.

Casey Affleck
Supporting Actor: 'Assassination of Jesse James'
When Casey Affleck was approached to take on the pivotal role of Robert Ford in Andrew Dominik's "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," the project seemed like the perfect package.

Javier Bardem
Supporting Actor: 'No Country for Old Men'
In the 1955 classic "The Night of the Hunter," Robert Mitchum's knuckles are memorably tattooed "hate" and "love."

Russell Crowe
Supporting Actor: 'American Gangster'
The white hat/black hat gangster movie has a long history, all the way from O'Brien and Cagney in "Angels With Dirty Faces" to DiCaprio and Damon in "The Departed." Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington continue that tradition this year in "American Gangster," and yet it's safe to say that few of those films had a white hat quite as rumpled as Crowe's.

Paul Dano
Supporting Actor: 'There Will Be Blood'
When Paul Dano signed on to star in Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood," he anticipated it being a quick job.

Ethan Hawke
Supporting Actor: 'Before the Devil Knows You're Dead'
When Ethan Hawke first took a look at his role as Hank in Sidney Lumet's "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead," he quickly realized it wouldn't necessarily be a fun experience.
