OSCAR COUNTDOWN: No lack of future greats to consider

The 2010 Academy Awards take place this Sunday. Time to start guessing who’ll win next year!

Okay, maybe it’s a little early.

But it’s never too soon to take a look at some of the best unheralded talent in movies: those actors and actresses who have never been nominated and might not be considered A-list (or even well-known), but could stand a chance to take home that golden baldie one day.

So even if you don’t know their names quite yet, take note. The 2011 Oscars are only a year away.

Excerpt:

Mark Strong: Understated and character-driven, this English actor has had a long string of quietly powerful roles (check him out as Hani in “Body of Lies,” stealing scenes from Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe). He has recently been getting bigger parts, too — he was the main villain in 2009’s “Sherlock Holmes” — so look for him in coming blockbusters.
