One of only two locks in any category
Javier Bardem - Out To Sea The other one.
Leonardo DiCaprio - The Aviator Does he have the weight?
Gael Garcia Bernal - The Motorcycle Diaries Great performance, rising world star
Liam Neeson - Kinsey His best work... but is it emotive enough for Oscar?
X
Kevin Bacon - The Woodsman Strong performance, tiny depressing film
Jeff Bridges - The Door In The Floor Summer box office duds rarely run
Gerard Butler - The Phantom Of The Opera Very dark horse... is it him singing?
Jim Carrey - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind Great performance in a film whose support skews very young... but word is that Carrey will work for this one
Jim Caviezel - The Passion Of The Christ He's been through so much!
Don Cheadle - Hotel Rwanda One of Toronto's highlights
Billy Crudup - Stage Beauty You will need to believe a man can pass
