Far from it. He's got Cumberpuff, Oyelowo and Redmayne to contend with, with the first two being his main threats and also getting raves for the most part. The fifth spot is still up for grabs, let alone the eventual winner.

I reckon it's gonna be:
Keaton
Redmayne
Cumberbatch
Oyelowo
Carell

I just want Spall to get in because he'll really never get a better opportunity.

I have my fingers crossed for "Ida" as best foreign movie. What do you think, friends from USA, what are the chances from your perspective?

Is Carell considered lead actor in Foxcatcher?

Yes, him and Tatum were campaigned as co-leads.

Certainly one of the frontrunners. Probably between that and Wild Tales.

Glad to hear that

Definitely my fave foreign film this year. It's got a solid shot.

Just returned from my 4th viewing of Interstellar. McC not getting any consideration for Best Actor is a complete sham. It's far and away his best film performance.
