something tells me he gets lost among the fray, with Bill Paxton (Nightcrawler), Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler), J.K. Simmons (Whiplash), Logan Lerman (Fury), Robert Duvall (The Judge), Ed Norton (Birdman), Ethan Hawke (Boyhood), etc. giving as strong if not even stronger performances. I mean, Neil Patrick Harris could also be considered. Tyler was real good in a role that really *COULD* net some oscar buzz around him....but I doubt it. you never know...but i think with all the performances coming getting buzz and those still to come (Josh Brolin - Inherent VIce, Domhall Gleeson - Frank, Michael Caine - Interstellar, Alec Baldwin - Still Alice, etc. this going to a tough race to rise to the top of and get a nod.

BUT, if the buzz around Gone Girl keeps pushing it well into the voting season, Tyler could slip in....
