They are not facing each other in any, which means, Africa could easily carry the day.
Nigerian Ejiofor Chiwetel is in run for the Best Male Lead actor, Kenyan Lupita N'yongo will be facing off favorite Jennifer Lawrence for the Best Female Supporting Actress, while Somali born Barkhad Abdi is also nominated for the Best Supporting Male actor award.
Ejiofor Chiwetel (12 years a Slave)
He stars in a movie thats relevant not to only the likely commite thats literally above sixty but even to both white and black community. it may be hard for this Nigerian to face stiff competition from the likes of Mathew McCaughtney and Leornardo Di Caprio whose roles one ,may argue glorify bing sex and gambling.
Lupita Nyongo (12 years a Slave)
Chiwetel partner in crime is a front runner to this years' Oscars.
The Oscars are never about who wins on the big night, they are about a concentrated publicity push for a group of actors and movies. In the weeks leading up to the awards things like cover stories, buzz and fashion can have just as much of an impact on an actor’s career as whether he or she wins a gold statue. Through that lense, the winner of Oscar season is definitely Lupita Nyong’o.
Lupita has a chance to win this since her biggest rival Jennifer Lawrence won an Oscar last year, the acadewmy may go on to embrace some new blood for a change.
Barkhad Abdi
Sadly, he's the least publicised nominee, he's not really a Hollywood heartthrob but this newbie deserves the praise. Prior to auditioning for this role, Abdi was a limousine driver, he attended an open casting and guess what? Stole Tom Hanks' movie.
No one deserves an Oscar like him, Jared Leto may have been amazing but Abdi is a first timer, he's never appeared in commercials, music videos or local dramas, this was clearly his first time in front of a camera.
Being nominated is a win for this 28 year old, but he's an underdog that may surprise everyone.
