Best Supporting Actor
Robert Duvall - The Judge
Ethan Hawke - Boyhood
Edward Norton - Birdman
Mark Ruffalo - Foxcatcher
J.K. Simmons - Whiplash
Certainly this is the easiest category to predict. J.K. Simmons has had his name engraved on the statue since this movie premiered at Sundance more than a year ago. As for the other nominees, Norton and Hawke could've easily accepted their first Oscars if it had been any other year as they both turned in arguably the best performances of their careers. Robert Duvall was the best thing about a pretty bland courtroom drama that feels like it should've been made in 1993. I have no explanation for the Ruffalo nomination except that the voters thought they were voting for Channing Tatum (who, I believe, had the only worthwhile performance of the pretty boring Foxcatcher).
My Ballot:
J.K. Simmons - Whiplash
Edward Norton - Birdman
Ethan Hawke - Boyhood
Robert Duvall - The Judge
Mark Ruffalo - Foxcatcher
My Pick to Win:
J.K. Simmons - Whiplash
Shamefully Snubbed:
Keith Stanfield - Selma
