The nominees are:
Casey Affleck in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”

Philip Seymour Hoffman in “Charlie Wilson’s War”
Hal Holbrook in “Into the Wild”
Tom Wilkinson in “Michael Clayton”

Covert picks: Javier Bardem, “No Country for Old Men.” Bardem turns the role of a baleful hit man into doom incarnate. In every scene, he cranks the gauge from churning anxiety to inhuman terror.
