Contenders and Pretenders: Andrew Garfield, Natalie Portman, Javier Bardem
Our thoughts on the awards players halfway through the season
Andrew Garfield
Contender Status: Not the lock we thought he'd be for a best supporting actor nomination for either "The Social Network" or "Never Let Me Go," but it's still possible.
Lowdown: Is it the hair or is Marc Webb making Garfield skip meals for "Spider-Man"? Lord, we know Peter Parker is skinny, but this shouldn't be Christian Bale in "The Machinist."

I don't even see "The King'd Speech" as a possible Best Picture winner. "The Social Network" winning BP is probably the most assured thing come Oscar night.
Jonnybon The Town is vulnerable, yes. But The King's Speech is neck and neck with The Social Network. There is no frontrunner.
