The National Board of Review kicked off award season with a shout out to their favorite stars, namely Clint Eastwood who's Invictus earned him Best Director, along with George Clooney who tied with Morgan Freeman for best Actor. (Note: Up In The Air, won best film)The NBR award's didn't really tell us too much about this award season that we didn't already assume, but they're choice for Best Supporting Actor was a name that hasn't really been tossed around, which is is Woody Harrelson for The Messenger.
The last time the supporting actor was nominated was Phillip Seymour Hoffman who won in 1999 for his work in Magnolia and the Talented Mr. Ripley...but of course, the Academy has since "made good." So with that I present some updated supporting actor predictions.
