Waltz better win an Oscar for this, he was absolutely brilliant. Movie was great and funny too. Without spoiling anything, there was a very Family Guy-esque scene in the middle that had the entire theatre laughing.

nomination for sure, but don't hold your breathe on him winning. if anything I think that Leo has the slight edge. throughout the first half of the film I thought that Waltz had it on lock, but then Leo won me over in the second half. however this could be argued either way because they were both incredible. the sad thing though is that BOTH of them were snubbed by the SAG awards this year. neither of them even nominated so that pretty much eliminates the chances of either of them winning.

the SAG's also snubbed Joaquin Phoenix of a nomination for "The Master" as well and that was easily the best acting performance of the year (and yes I'm counting DDL). I think they'll all get nominated for Oscars, but won't win.
