Power Rankings for 12/22/08
Best Supporting Actor
P/R Last C/R Person/Film
1 99 99 Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight
  Would you want to explain to the Joker that he lost?
2 87 89 Robert Downey Jr. - Tropic Thunder
  We're rooting for him to win and accept his award in costume and in character.
3 80 84 Dev Patel - Slumdog Millionaire
  Having seen the film, we now know why he's nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but he has no shot at winning, just a nomination.
4 84 80 Josh Brolin - Milk
  We think it's high time he gets recognized for his work as the villain in Into the Blue.
5 70 69 Michael Shannon - Revolutionary Road
  He's the only guy not named Heath Ledger to have won something so far.
6 55 60 James Franco - Milk
  Freaks and Geeks fans unite!
7 65 50 Philip Seymour Hoffman - Doubt
  Doubt just doesn't have the oomph of the other contenders, but he's either held his own or surpassed Meryl Streep.
8 60 40 Ralph Fiennes - The Duchess
  Everything about him is so F-I-E-N-N-E-S Fiennes.
9 -- 30 Eddie Marsan - Happy-Go-Lucky
  You know him best as the vague bad guy in Hancock. We're not kidding.
10 20 20 Rade Sherbedgia - Fugitive Pieces
  Still a major longshot, but we love the idea that 24's Dmitri could get a nod.
