Steven Spielberg's highly anticipated
Lincoln, starring
Daniel Day-Lewis as the eponymous 16th president. Expectations are sky-high for this one and for Day-Lewis, whose tranformation into Abraham Lincoln looks
nothing short of amazing. Day-Lewis rarely disappoints so Oscar is the word once again for the celebrated English-Irish thespian. He already has two Best Actor statues on his mantle for
My Left Foot and
There Will Be Blood. Time will tell if he will collect a third. He certainly rules the trailer:

- Redcarpetdiary has the first clips (see below) of Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond the Pines, which debuted this week at the Toronto International Film Festival, and dude looks crazy. Covered in homemade tattoos, Gosling confers with partner Robin (Animal Kingdom's Ben Mendelsohn) about robbing a bank. Directed by Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine), Pines will be released sometime in 2013.
- Slashfilm has a story about the possibilities of Channing Tatum making a Magic Mike 2. In an interview with a German film website, Tatum and writer Reid Carolin expressed their desire to continue the story of the "cock-rocking kings of Tampa" as a road film. Interesting, but they'd better get Steven Soderbergh on board first. Magic Mike worked largely because of the director's credibility.

Robin Williams and

Oscar Watch 2013Best Actor contenders
(Getty Images | Pacific Coast News)
We've studied the list of Best Actresses so it's now time to focus on the actors. Leading the way is the one-two punch of
Joaquin Phoenix and
Phillip Seymour Hoffman in
The Master. Phoenix is the surer bet to land an Oscar nod at this point, but Hoffman is fantastic as well. It's not unheard of for two actors from the same movie to be nominated for Best Actor (It's happened 11 times), but it hasn't happened since 1983 when
F. Murray Abraham and
Tom Hulce were both nominated for
Amadeus (Abraham won).
Other Best Actor contenders include
Daniel Day-Lewis in
Lincoln,
Denzel Washington in
Flight, and
Bill Murray in
Hyde Park on Hudson. It's obviously still very early and these predictions are speculative, but based on festival reviews, the Academy's tendency to lend weight to performances in biopics, and the star power of the actors themselves, it's only common sense to look down the road at who the legitimate contenders are. Here's my full list, ranked in order of nomination likelihood:
