I’d honestly wouldn’t object. I don’t know if he would make my top 5, but I thought he brought a lot of levity in a film that maybe needed it.

I think he was better than most of the nominated performances in that category the last two years and it's gonna take a strong year to knock him out of contention this year for me.
It's a performance that absolutely should not work on paper, especially with his baggage. And yet it does. It's one of those performances that is actually augmented by who the actor playing him is off-screen, and a fantastic perversion of Affleck's real-life movie-star wattage. It's the sort of thing I praise DiCaprio for nailing in The Wolf of Wall Street (admittedly not quite to that level), but I feel Affleck had a lot more to prove and a lot less wiggle-room than DiCaprio.

Do you think between this and The Tender Bar, he could get nominated and if so for what movie? |
