The supporting cast are just as important as the lead characters in any film and Tilda Swinton and Javier Bardem walked away with the coveted Best Supporting Actor and Actress this year.
There have already been some great performances this with a string more to come in the run up to award season so we are going to take a quick look at who could be walking away with the supporting gongs in 2009.
Despite being for a blockbuster role it wouldn't be surprising if we see the late Heath Ledger nominated for his role as the Joker in Batman Begins and don't raise an eyebrow should he go on to win.

Gone was Nicholson’s comic interpretation of the character replaced instead by a real menace and madness as the Joker lived with no rules robbing and killing simply because he could.
Ledger is nothing short of genius and whispers of a possible posthumous Oscar are not being said in exaggeration as his performance just highlights what an immense talent that has been lost as he steals the show.
Robert Downey Jr also finds himself surrounded in some Oscar hype for his role alongside Jamie Foxx in The Soloist, lets face it it's an award that is long over due.
Joe Wright's latest picture is an emotionally soaring drama about the redemptive power of music, journalist Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.) discovers Nathaniel Anthony Ayers (Jamie Foxx), a former classical music prodigy, playing his violin on the streets of L.A.
