*Daniel Day-Lewis, "In the Name of the Father"--Share the wealth. Already won for "My Left Foot"

*Laurence Fishburne, "What's Love Got to Do With It"-- He's the Bes Supporting.

*Tom Hanks, "Phildelphia"--Awarding the red-ribbon-cause, not the actor.

*Anthony Hopkins, "The Remains of the Day"-- He's better in "Shadowlands".

*Liam Neeson, "Schindler's List"--Forgest Schindler-sweep, "Darkman" can't win.

Wish you were here: Harrison Ford, "The Piano"; Robin Williams, "Mrs Doubtfire."

BEST ACTRESS

*Angela Bassett, "What's Love Got to Do With It"--Better than Tina herself. But can't forget Schindle trickle-down: Hunter must win to honor "The Piano."

*Stockard Channing '65, "Six Degrees of Separation"--One bad movie.

*Holly hunter, "The Piano"--Overcomes mute button and Princess Leia hairdo.

*Emma Thompson, "The Remains of the Day"--Can't win twice for same performance ("Howard's End").

*Debra Winger, "Shadowlands" -- Can lose twice for same performance ("Terms of Endearment").

*Wish you were here: Michelle pfeiffer, "The Age of Innocence."

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

*Leonardo DiCaprio, "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"--Wins qudiences' herts. Still, Dustin Hoffman already won that Oscar ("Rain Man").
