Gold Derby
If a man wants to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards, one of the easiest ways is to win the same category at the Golden Globes the month before. It has been 35 consecutive years, that this Globe winner has at least been nominated at the Oscars, and many have gone on to win the bigger prize.
Among the top contenders this year are
Kenneth Branagh ("My Week with Marilyn"),
Armie Hammer ("J. Edgar"),
John Hawkes ("Martha Marcy May Marlene"),
Viggo Mortensen ("A Dangerous Method"),
Christopher Plummer ("Beginners"), and

Past Globe winners who are on the ballot are:
Jim Broadbent ("The Iron Lady"),
John Goodman ("The Artist"),
Tom Hanks ("Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"),
Ben Kingsley ("Hugo"),
Nick Nolte ("Warrior"),
Brad Pitt and
Sean Penn ("The Tree of Life"),
Alan Rickman ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2"), Geoffrey Rush ("The Eye of the Storm"), and
Christoph Waltz ("Carnage"). The political drama "The Ides of March" features three previous winners:
George Clooney,
Paul Giamatti, and
Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Other potential nominees include
Albert Brooks ("Drive"),
Robert Forster ("The Descendants"),
Ben Foster ("Rampart"),
