*I really wish this wasn't the case, but he's been getting awards left and right for this role.  Sure, I didn't really care for 'Dallas Buyers Club' all that much, but there came a point early on in the movie where I just couldn't buy this character and wrote him off.  
**Another one that I really wish wasn't happening, but the awards so far have been more in favor of her miscast role in 'American Hustle' than for the far more deserving Lupita Nyong'O for '12 Years A Slave'.  If I get this pick wrong, I'll be thrilled.
