Oscar odds: Best Supporting Actor

My, my ... what an interesting crew we have here. Did you ever think you'd see a majority of nominees who made their bones in sitcoms?

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Alan Alda, "The Aviator": Hey, look at Hawkeye! He actually was a lot of fun in this, but c'mon ... ODDS: 20-to-1.
Thomas Haden Church, "Sideways": Lowell hits the bigtime. Who wants an Icehouse? ODDS: 12-to-1.
Jamie Foxx, "Collateral": He was pretty good playing off Mr. Cruise, but let's not get greedy. ODDS: 15-to-1.
Morgan Freeman, "Million Dollar Baby:" He doesn't have to play a second banana with his pedigree, but he does it quite well. ODDS: 3-to-1.
Clive Owen, "Closer": I'm sure our favorite croupier was great, but can anything top those BMW short films? ODDS: 10-to-1.
