Will there be a split this year like there was in 2005 when Ang Lee won for Brokeback Mountain and Crash won Best Picture?

We pick the winners in the Best Actor category. This is one category that is pretty up in air at this point, even though one man has a distinct edge from earlier guild wins and the BAFTAs (if the BAFTAs even mean anything).
