I think you can take this list to the bank, although a surprise might be Joaquin Phoenix for The Master. He was a bit of a lock early in the season, and many feel that he lost momentum after slagging the Oscar campaigning process. I don't think that's what cost him the nomination, though. He faded because he simply wasn't out there doing the thing he said he hated, which — for better or worse — is how you stay fresh enough in voters' minds to end up on their ballots.
