Reply #17: There's some suspicion that a guy like George Clooney might win

[calimary]

not strictly because of his fine acting (assuming it's for "Syriana"), but also the whale of an acceptance speech he'd be expected to give. There are people who, all things being equal, would cast their votes on that basis. I'd LOVE to hear what he'd say. ANYTHING he'd say would be fine with me, but obviously the more stingingly politically funny, the better.
