I'm thinking Hawkes/Chastain/Arkin/Hunt
Re: National Board of Review Predictions
John Goodman ain't looking too good these days. His entrance in Argo as he walked across a set looked very strenuous for him.

Re: National Board of Review Predictions
I have to agree with you, dws. Goodman's performance in Flight is really out-of-place and just plain silly at times (especially that 11th hour appearance in the hotel room complete with his own soundtrack). It's almost like he's in an entirely different movie. Not nomination-worthy in the slightest.dws1982 wrote:John Goodman deserves nothing but a Razzie for Flight. He was excellent in Trouble With the Curve and good in Argo, but he was indescribably bad in Flight. Loud, garish, completely at odds with the tone of the film. Just a terrible performance. But I wouldn't be too shocked to see a critics group cite it.Mister Tee wrote:Sup. Actor: John Goodman (Flight) & (Argo)
