The fall movie going season offers a bevy of hotly anticipated performances – some from famous faces, others from less familiar ones. Here are 10 worth being excited about:
MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY – He's already given an Oscar-worthy supporting performance in Jeff Nichols' Mississippi River coming-of-age tale "Mud" earlier this year. And McConaughey also has a role in Martin Scorsese's upcoming "The Wolf of Wall Street." But in "Dallas Buyers Club" he stars as an HIV-positive Dallas man who smuggles alternative medicine. It could be the apogee of McConaughey's recent streak.
CHIWETEL EJIOFOR – The British actor's lead performance in "12 Years a Slave" as a free black man with a family in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., sold into slavery in Louisiana Women's Kevin Johnson Jersey , is a hugely powerful portrait of undefeated dignity.
SANDRA BULLOCK – There are two on-screen actors in Alfonso Cuaron's space thriller "Gravity": George Clooney and Bullock. In zero gravity, Bullock grounds the film in one of the finest, least-adorned performances of her career.
OSCAR ISAAC – Though little known, Isaac landed the lead part in the Coen brothers' Greenwich village folk revival "Inside Llewyn Davis." In a film about an early `60s musician always narrowly missing his breakthrough Women's Nick Martin Jersey , Isaac's own big break is assured. He also flawlessly sings and performs several folk ballads in the film.
BARKHAD ABDI – Tom Hanks' lead performance in "Captain Phillips" will rightly be hailed and almost certainly land him another Oscar nomination. But it wouldn't work if he didn't have a foil. In Paul Greengrass's docudrama of a cargo ship taken by Somali pirates, Abdi plays Muse, the pirate leader who nicknames Hanks' captain "Irish." It's the first film for the Minneapolis man.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH – The actor many know as Sherlock has no less than four major films this fall: "The Fifth Estate," as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange; "12 Years a Slave Women's Will Fuller V Jersey ," as a slightly benevolent slave owner; "August: Osage County," as Margo Martindale's son; and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," as the titular dragon.
