best villain nominee favorites.
I LOVE BEST VILLAIN! It’s mainly because I love seeing actors get so into their characters that we forget they are actual human beings with emotions other than hate and the desire to kill. We all remember how intense the late Heath Ledger made the Joker in Christopher Nolan’s 2009 Batman thriller “The Dark Knight” for which he received the 2009 Best Villain award rightfully so but was painfully not able to accept the award having died of a drug overdose in 2008. Tom Felton won last year for “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” as Draco Malfoy and considering he played Malfoy once again this year in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1,” the possibility of back-to-back Tom Felton wins is very possible, especially now that Draco has become a deatheater in the series. But I wouldn’t call it a shoe-in, because this year he’s got a lot of competition even from his co-stars, Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter for their roles as Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange respectively. Being one of the only categories that “The Twilight Saga” hasn’t received even a nomination, 2011 could be a first for the stars having both Xavier Samuel and Bryce Dallas Howard as viable nominee options for their portrayals of Riley Biers and Victoria respectively. Christopher Waltz could have back-to-back nominations for last year’s “Inglorious Basterds” and this year’s “The Green Hornet.” But I could also see Jeff Bridges nominated for “TRON: Legacy,” Leighton Meester for “The Roommate,” Mickey Rourke for “Iron Man 2,” or Ryan Philippe for “The Lincoln Lawyer.”
