Lol only seen two of these which is kind of bad but here we go anyway

1 Brad Pitt "Moneyball"
2 George Clooney "The Descendants"

I like them both pretty equally but I liked how unpredictable Pitt's character could be at times and I like how he switched between the cocky character at work and more caring one at home. This is my favourite Clooney role to though so he's not far behind for me!

I'd have probably put Owen Wilson in for Midnight In Paris as I thought the role suited him and he did a decent job but he wouldn't make it in most years really. I also liked Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 50/50 but I guess he never really stood a chance at making it.

I loved Brad Pitt in Moneyball, but I don't know if it was Oscar worthy. TTSS sent me to sleep I haven't actually seen any of the other Oscar films :/

TBH Joel Edgerton should be here for Warrior, although I dunno if he was more Lead or Supporting.
