In an interview on The Tonight Show, Hanks told Leno that following the boarding the ship scene, between takes, one of the Somali-American actors shook Hanks' hand and said "I can't believe I'm making a movie with Forrest Gump!"Johnny Angell said:According to the interview with Tom Hanks that I heard on Fresh Air, the first time Hanks saw the Pirate actors was when they stormed the bridge. The director thought that would heighten the tension.
I haven't seen a performance better than Hanks' so far.Robert Crawford said:Hanks will most likely be nominated, but competition for Best Actor is supposed to be very strong this year.
You know as well as I do that most films with multiple AA nominations don't come out until the last quarter. One of those are 12 Years as a Slave with Chiwetel Ejiofor. Have you seen that film yet? There is also the Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom starring Idris Elba. I'm sure there are 2-3 other films that probably have some great acting performances too.TravisR said:I haven't seen a performance better than Hanks' so far.
It is not highly likely until we see all of the acting performances for 2013!Mark Booth said:Hanks performance is so powerful, that while watching the end of the video I linked above,the memory of that scene brought tears to my eyes.when the real Navy Corpsman was describing her experience of meeting Tom Hanks and doing the final scene,
I don't know of anyone else (so far this year) that is more deserving of the Best Actor Oscar. A nomination for Hanks is a forgone conclusion. A win is HIGHLY likely.

Absolutely but as of now, the performance to beat is Tom Hanks. Besides Ejiofor and Elba, I expect Matthew McConaughey in The Dallas Buyers Club, Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf Of Wall Street and Christian Bale in American Hustle all to give excellent performances as well. Plus, I'm curious if George Clooney will go in as Actor or Supporting Actor for Gravity.Robert Crawford said:You know as well as I do that most films with multiple AA nominations don't come out until the last quarter.
So I take it you haven't seen these yet? Neither have I, though, Ejiofor's film has been released. I read that The Wolf of Wall Street has been delayed until 2014 by Scorsese. As to Hanks, it's a fine performance and one worthy of a Best Actor Oscar, but until I see the rest of these performances, I can honestly say it's the best of the year.TravisR said:Absolutely but as of now, the performance to beat is Tom Hanks.

Yeah, I haven't seen any of those movies yet (12 Years A Slave will probably get released near me in the next week or two) but looking at potential nominees, the Best Actor category should be pretty good this year.Robert Crawford said:So I take it you haven't seen these yet?

And I could be wrong but I thought that Wolf was only delayed until Christmas as of now. I guess if Scorsese needs more time to trim the movie down, a 2014 release is still certainly a possibility.
I would have written Hanks' win is a foregone conclusion. I tempered it as highly likely specifically because there are performances we haven't seen.Let me put it this way... I'm 95% confident Hanks will get the Oscar.MarkRobert Crawford said:It is not highly likely until we see all of the acting performances for 2013!
