I know Keaton and Moore are the favorites for the leading roles, but I haven't heard a whole lot about the supporting races. It seems like the supporting actor category is wide open this year with no one huge standout. I know Simmons won the Globe, but that doesn't necessarily always translate to winning the Oscar. Has anyone heard about the supporting actor race this year?
shareI think Norton has zero chances of winning. I loved his performance, but Simmons is unstoppable this year, and deservedly so.
shareI think Norton is probably a strong contender, and most likely to get it other than Simmons. But thats a small chance, Simmons will get it 100%.

I think Norton deserves to win 100% for his performance in Birdman but for some reason Simmons is picking up all the awards. And I say "some reason" because if you've seen his work on the HBO show OZ then you know his character in Whiplash is just a less rapey version of that one which should've been rewarded with an Emmy and not an Oscar. I think this is a career award for Simmons but it should be a career award for Norton because he's consistently wonderful and had more layers and notes to play than Simmons.
