Kind of crazy that all of this line-up had won Oscars before so whoever won would have multiple Oscars :o In yerms of careers, Waltz is probably least deserving so I'd have preferred another winner in that sense but not seen the movie so can't really comment.

 

1 Phillip Seymour Hoffman

2 Tommy Lee Jones

3 Robert De Niro

4 Alan Arkin

 

Hoffman was the only amazing one here, totally believable as a charismatic leader of a religious movement. Lee Jones was good and had some decent moments in the film but was my least fave of the Lincoln nominees. I like DeNiro in SLP but the performance was perhaps a little light. Same for Arkin who didn't really have much to do except provide some laughs.

 

This year could've been a much stronger year with a different set of nominees. I'd keep the top two and add in Sacha Baron Cohen (Les Mis), Ewan McGregor (The Impossible) & Dwight Henry (Beasts of the Southern Wild)!!

None of them scream Oscar winner to me :( defo agree about Ewan deserving to be there.
