- Natalie Portman, current frontrunner for best actress for Black Swan, has No Strings Attached, a romantic comedy opposite Ashton Kutcher in which she, a busy medical resident, pursues a "friends with benefits" relationship. I'm willing to bet complications ensue and they end up falling for each other. I actually have some hope for this, since it's directed by Ivan Reitman, but has definite Norbit potential.
- Jeff Bridges, defending best actor and best actor contender for True Grit, has Tron: Legacy. Yes, it's a safe bet that Tron will get some technical nods (production design, effects, maybe score), but remember, Norbit was Oscar-nodded for makeup.
- Justin Timberlake, potential supporting actor contender for Social Network, has Yogi Bear. Need I say more?
- Ben Stiller, extreme dark horse actor contender for Greenberg, has Little Fockers.
- Geoffrey Rush, supporting actor frontrunner for King's Speech, has The Warrior's Way.
Any I've missed?
