First time nominees include Jonah Hill as best supporting actor for "MoneyBall" ,Gary Oldman for best actor "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" and Demian Bichir for "Better Life"..Celebritology Blogger Jen Chaney explains Bichir's nomination : perhaps the biggest one today came in form of Demian Bichir, a mexican who played a struggling immigrant father in the film 'Better Life" the role that gave him his first Oscar nomination for the best actor..(You may recognize him as Fidel Castro from "Che" or Esteban from Showtimes "Weeds")..He had already earned strong critical praise for his turn in the small indie film, so industry insider and avid film buffs were certainly aware of his work.But somehow,Bichir was overlooked by the online Oscar prognosticating machine, on tha assumption that a Leonardo Di Caprio or Michael Fassbender was more likely to join the nominated-lead-actor company, cleary that was wrong.
