2010 OSCARS PREVIEW CONTINUED:

The Daniel Day-Lewis Best Actor Award
- Jeff Bridges – The Dude plus guitar, minus White Russians and Walter Sobcheck.
- George Clooney – was in a movie this year (and it was pretty good).
- Colin Firth –Token LGBT-related nomination.
- Morgan Freeman – Morgan Freeman does a good Nelson Mandela impression.
- Jeremy Renner – So, they blew away Guy Pierce before the opening credits?
WILL WIN: George Clooney. Like I said, his year. Bridges is the other strong candidate.
SHOULD WIN: Jeff Bridges. I think Bridges is doing more acting in his movie than Clooney is. I think Clooney always just plays Clooney.
