3. Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker
4. Nicolas Cage, The Bad Lieutenant - Port of Call: New Orleans
5. Brian Cox, The Escapist

Best Lead Performance, Female
1. Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia  [Hard to justify on one hand for so terrible a movie, but if you cut out all the Julie scenes and added more about Julia Child (who completely deserves a biopic all her own), it could have been great. In any case, Streep has so much fun with this performance, it was so lively and unadorned, that I almost have forgiven her for It's Complicated. Almost.]
2. Mélanie Laurent, Inglourious Basterds
3. Helen Mirren, The Last Station [Even by Mirren standards, she is superb here. A complex woman playing multiple notes on her many instruments. She's an orchestra unto herself.]

Best Cinematic Breakthrough
1. Quentin Tarantino, Inglorious Basterds [furthering the amazing ability to throw traditional narrative on its ear and still make an amazingly entertaining film, Tarantino starts his messing with the audience early, using the typeface for Pulp Fiction, and then rendering each set of title cards in a different typeface. "You think you know what to expect?" he seems to be saying. "Well, you're wrong."]
2. T. Bone Burnett, Crazy Heart [The most pitch-perfect musician story ever told. This was a true behind-the scenes look at a mid-line career, which could only be brought through the authentic music and authentic life Burnett no-doubt infused into the production.]
3. Ricky Gervais, The Invention of Lying [A remarkable movie that marries the absurdism and cultural critique of Terry Southern (minus the cynicism) with the broad appeal of a comedian like Jim Carrey (minus the over-acting look-at-meism)]
4. Fantastic Mr. Fox [Remote directing from a Parisian apartment = the new black]
5. Avatar [Like-it-or-not, we have our new blockbuster high-watermark, and it's coming to you in 3D]
