Cannes Film Festival 2013

2010 Best Supporting Actor Contenders

Could a 'Basterd,' a 'Trek' doctor, a 'Goat' and 'Orson Welles' find Oscar?

James McAvoy, "The Last Station"

Previous nominations or wins: None

Pros: McAvoy has been this close to a nomination twice before for "The Last King of Scotland" and "Atonement."  Playing alongside Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer in the historical drama may allow him to finally break through. 

Cons: "Station" is clearly Plummer's showcase and the film's campaign will be focused squarely on landing the legend his first Oscar nomination.  McAvoy may just have to wait.
