Is Peter Sarsgaard this years Jude Law?
No. With four movies coming out before the end of the year (“The Skeleton Key,” “Flightplan,” “Jarhead” and “The Dying Gaul”) Sarsgaard is certainly duplicating Law’s multiple picture overload from 2004. Luckily, they are mostly supporting roles and his turn in “Jarhead” might just get him the Oscar nod he missed out on for “Kinsey.” Which movie is more of a serious Oscar contender: “Crash” or “Cinderella Man”? “Crash.” Supporters of the Paul Haggis drama are very passionate about it and while there are those that dislike it (myself included), don’t be surprised by nominations for Don Cheadle, Thandie Newton, Screenplay and (gasp) even Best Picture. “Cinderella Man” may suffer from “Million Dollar Baby” backlash and Russell Crowe’s recent arrest won’t help. “Cinderella” is far more likely to follow “The Road to Perdition” (not many) than “Seabiscuit” (a bunch) in its pursuit of nominations. Could Keira Knightley and Reese Witherspoon get their first nominations? Yes. Word is Knightley
