Christoph Waltz now a major best actor candidate, Django Unchained moves up in Oscar race

Apparently, there was a screening of Django Unchained on the Sony lot and it has shaken up the Oscar race. In addition to Christoph Waltz now being in the Best Actor race, Gold Derby's Tom O'Neill says that an insider has told the site that Waltz: "Towers over the whole film" and that the day this screens for major critics it will shake up the Oscar race. The cut of the film is additionally reported to be three hours long and Tarantino is cutting the film down right now. This is big news.

Django Unchained has fallen off the radar of many people who predict the Oscars and I think that now everybody has it back on. Waltz is definitely now a top 5 for the best actor race. On Sunday's Oscar update I think that I will be implementing so big changes. For now here is the updates for the leaders in each of the major categories:

BEST PICTURE- ARGO


BEST ACTRESS- JENNIFER LAWRENCE, Silver Linings Playbook


BEST ACTOR- DANIEL-DAY LEWIS, Lincoln


BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS- ANNE HATHAWAY, Les Miserables


BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR- PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN, The Master
