Some of Anthony Mackie's most notable roles include Clarence "Papa Doc" in 8 Mile, John Henry Armstrong in Spike Lee's She Hate Me, Frank in Half Nelson, and then of course, Tupac in the Biggie Smalls biopic Notorious. Mackie has already been nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Independent Spirit Award, and The Hurt Locker is quickly ratching up critical acclaim and Oscar support. The Film Experience Blog named Mackie as having an outside chance at getting the Supporting Actor nod, but a lot can change in six months, especially if Hurt Locker continues at the momentum it's going.
His chances might not be as solid as sure-thing Mo'Nique's, but again, things can change in six months. With Mo'Nique, Sidbe, and Daniels for Precious, Mackie for Hurt Locker, and possibly Morgan Freeman for Inviticus, 2009 might turn out to be an impressive year for Blacks at the Oscars. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
