Performance by an actor in a supporting role
Christoph Waltz as Colonel Hans Landa in "Inglourious Basterds"
Waltz's sweep of award season began with a special prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and has included BAFTA, Golden Globe and SAG wins.
"Basterds" was the first major English language role for the Austrian-born actor, but he's since completed work on "The Green Hornet" opposite Seth Rogen and is set to co-star with Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon in "Water for Elephants."
