Best Actors, expected snubs, What have you for Globes and Oscars

More than anything this year I'm hoping for some Watchmen recognition and a (500) Days of Summer nods

Heavyweights for number of Oscar nominations: Invictus, Precious, Nine, Up in the Air, The Hurt Locker, A Serious Man, The Road, The Lovely Bones, Avatar (for technical categories).

Jeff Bridges for Crazy Heart seems a lock for a nomination. Same for Colin Firth in A Single Man and Viggo Mortensen in The Road.

Sam Rockwell for Best Actor.

I would love to see him at least get nominated but this is such a stacked year for Best Actor candidates I don't see how he gets in.
