The most highly anticipated awards show of the year is just two days away, and this time I'm highlighting this year's nominees vying for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress.
The Best Supporting Actor category features five very talented actors who have made a big impression with their performances in the past year and have undoubtedly left their mark on the film industry. He is the first among them Jared Leto, the actor for whom the film was made Dallas Health Club (more about the story of the film) the first film after a five-year break from filming. But the role Rayon, an AIDS-infected transsexual, touched him so much that he accepted her without hesitation. He had to follow her just like his teammate Matthew McConaughey to lose a drastic number of kilograms, and he got so immersed in the role that he stayed in it the entire time of filming. With almost thirty awards already won for the role, Leto is one of the biggest favorites to win the Oscar.
One of his competitors is Jonah Hill, who is nominated for his role in the film The Wolf of Wall Street (link to trailer). The actor is in a film depicting the life of a stock market legend Jordan Belfort and his empire Stratton Oakmont, depicted Donnie Azoff, Belfort's partner. This is the second Oscar nomination for the informant, in 2011 Jonah impressed in the film Moneyball, in which he kept him company Brad Pitt.
The third nominee for Best Supporting Actor is still unknown Berkhad Abdi, who had the honor of being in the film Captain Phillips (about the story of the film) played alongside the legendary To Tom Hanks. It is another blockbuster film based on real events. The story is about the hijacking of an American ship Maersk Alabama, which was attacked by Somali pirates in 2009 and focuses on the relationship between the captain of the Alabama Richard Phillips and captains of Somali pirates Musom, who takes him hostage.
Bradley Cooper is another sounding name of the film's cast American scams (movie trailer). Besides Amy Adams and Christian Bale, competing for Best Lead Actor, Cooper is another testament to the great success the film has achieved. The actor was nominated for an Oscar for the first time in 2011, for his role in the film After the rain, the sun shines.
Last but not least is the male nominee Michael Fassbender, which is in the movie 12 years a slave (more about the story of the film) played the game of his life. The role of a brutal Louisiana plantation owner who buys a free man who has been kidnapped and sold into slavery also earned him an Oscar nomination.
In the category for the best female supporting role, the name of the young and talented one resonates the most Jennifer Lawrence for her performance in the film American scams. And despite her youth, this is Jennifer's third Oscar nomination. In 2010, she was nominated for the leading female role for the film Winter's Bone, and in 2012 celebrated as the best female actress for the film After the rain, the sun shines. And if the guesses turn out to be correct, she is in for another prestigious award this year.
Sally Hawkins is the next name in the said category. The actress earned the nomination for her excellent performance in the film Island Jasmine (movie trailer), in which she had a role Ginger, who is the sister of a recently divorced and impoverished woman Jasmine.
Such as Meryl Streep it's in the movie August: Osage County even the American favorite impressed with her performance Julia Roberts. She portrayed in the hit movie Barbara Weston, a woman angered by her failing marriage who returns to her childhood home after the death of her father. Despite her many notable roles and long acting career, this is only Julia's fourth nomination and the first since 2000, when the actress received an Oscar for her role in the film Erin Brockovich.
June Squibb is an actress who convinced the film academy with her performance in the film Nebraska (more about the film), under which he signed as a director Alexander Payne. In it, she played the role of the wife of a man who suffers from dementia and is convinced that he has hit a million dollars.
That 12 years a slave one of the most popular films of last year, the nominee proves Lupita Nyong'o. In the true and poignant story, Lupita portrayed Patsey, a slave who becomes the object of her owner's brutal sexual obsessions.
