Future Awards Dates & Unmentioned Actors (Thus Far)

Just a heads up to all of you who like to play along in the Oscar race. Here are the next big dates. And just for fun, I've illustrated with the pictures of 14 of the most prominent players who seemed like they might catch fire (at some recent point) but who have still not been mentioned at all in the first handful of acting citations... not even at the Satellites. I've updated the actor, actress, supp actress, and supp actor charts with the latest wins and nominations.

Which do you find most surprising? Really at least a handful of these people should have surfaced by now if they were going to surface at all, don't you think? But perhaps it's too early to worry. A Globe, BFCA and SAG nomination can be quite a match for lighting Oscar fire. Stay tuned.

Key red = scheduled big deals *  gray = last year's announcement was on this date.
