Ty Burr says ...
The easiest money of the year: Day-Lewis has no serious competition for his uncanny, deeply personable reincarnation of a national icon. If more people had actually seen The Sessions, Hawkes might have been nominated for his quietly heartbreaking performance.

Janice Page says ...
Go ahead, bet the house on it. The only way Day-Lewis could lose is if hes disqualified for doping, and by doping I mean hes not going to lose. Thats fine; Day-Lewis deserves all the praise hes getting. Its just that Washington is so good as a pilot in a tailspin, without history or Tony Kushners pithy words to draw from, even his minibar tab is epic. Coopers a revelation, hes just not in this league; Danielsen Lie could be, if anyone had seen Oslo.
