Christoph Waltz

Come Oscar night on Sunday, 53-year-old Austrian actor Christoph Waltz, who's swept every major (and minor) award since his Prix d'interprétation masculine at Cannes, will almost certainly take home the coveted golden statuette for his supporting role of a "cruel, ruthless, polyglot and diabolically intelligent" Austro-German SS officer named Colonel Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's history-bashing INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. Man, that was a long sentence!
