Jim Carrey – In 2011, Jim Carrey will be starring in Ripley’s Believe It or Not!. Ever since he became a star with films like Dumb and Dumber, Carrey has been trying to stretch his acting abilities and gain respect as more than just a comedian. This may be the role which finally allows him to do so.
Leonardo DiCaprio – The star of Titanic has done an admirable job of shedding his teen idol image and becoming a respected actor (especially through his work with Martin Scorsese). He’s been nominated multiple times for an Oscar, but his upcoming role in The Chancellor Manuscript could do the trick. Based on a 1977 novel, it tells the story of secret files of J. Edgar Hoover which are used to blackmail high-ranking individuals.
Daniel Day-Lewis – After taking several years off from acting, Day-Lewis returned with a vengeance in Gangs of New York. Since 1997, he’s only done four films, but There Will Be Blood earned him an Oscar win for Best Actor. He previously earned a Best Actor award for portraying Christy Brown in My Left Foot in 1989. Assuming he does a movie in the next few years, Day-Lewis is certain to get an Oscar nomination.
Philip Seymour Hoffman – Although he’s already won a Best Actor award for Capote, Hoffman just keeps cranking out the critically-acclaimed films. He’s also enjoyed success in the theatre, twice being nominated for a Tony award. He’s an actor who stays very busy, so there’s no doubt he’ll star in multiple films in 2011–at least one of which will earn him a nomination.
