Ben Affleck and Andrew Garfield will get acting nominations? When did they learn to act? Hope springs eternal…
Erm…. Casey Affleck already HAS a nomination… Read a book friend.
CASEY Affleck isn’t the alleged nominee I object to. He’s a talented actor. It’s his horrifically untalented brother BEN. Ben may be a fairly good director (though severely overrated) but Ben can’t act to save his life so it is very surprising people on here voted for him as a possible acting nominee.
“Read a book, huh?” I could suggest you read posts before responding.
