The candidates for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role (aka Best Supporting Actor) for the 80th Annual Academy Awards are:

1. Casey Affleck for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
2. Javier Bardem for No Country for Old Men.
3. Philip Seymour Hoffman for Charlie Wilson’s War.
4. Hal Holbrook for Into the Wild.
5. Tom Wilkinson for Michael Clayton.

From everything I’ve read or heard, Javier Bardem is taking this one.
