Academy Award Oscar Nominations, Best Supporting Actor

Alan Arkin received a Best Supporting Actor for his role as the grandfather in Little Miss Sunshine. Along with acting, Arkin is also an author, singer, and composer.

Jackie Haley was nominated for his role as Ronnie in Little Children opposite Kate Winslet. Winslet was nominated for Best Actress for the same film.

Hounsou, an actor, dancer, and model, was nominated for his role in Blood Diamond. He also is known for his role of Cinque in the critically-acclaimed movie Amistad.

Perpetual funnyman Eddie Murphy was nominated for his role in Dreamgirls, in which he played James "Thunder" Early. I can't stand him and really hope he gets snubbed. Look for him in Norbit, where he plays several characters, a sort of trademark of his.

Marky Mark has made it big since his white rapper days! He was nominated for his role in The Departed, where his character, in my opinion, stole the show, even among typical screen-stealers Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Martin Sheen.
