It's a solid pick, he's got a chance at lead actor noms for Women of Marwen, and imo a VERY good chance at noms for supporting actor in Backseat. Oh, and Beautiful Boy as well, also a potential awards earner for him.
I know, and also Beautiful Boy. I have a feeling 2018/2019 is his year in the awards season.

Man, Driver could go nowhere or everywhere this year... will Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman be huge? Will Man Who Killed Don Quixote finally happen? WTF is the Untitled Noah Baumbach Movie, and how is it still untitled but already set to open November 30th with Driver, ScarJo and Dern?

Am I alone in feeling like Saoirse is going to clean up? She was my top choice by such a large margin. None of the top 4 are exactly a surprise either, but still...

I'll let you peek behind the wizard's curtain and tell you how I've decided to pick my actors:

Go to the IMDB release Calendar
look for a decent movie,
Look at the cast
Look for an actor/actress
Check that actor/actress' credits for 2018 for multiple films
Cross your fingers for a good awards contender

Question for you guys. The original rules I copied and pasted had a special bonus. Whichever player had tut most box office at the end of round 1 got a bye directly into round 3. I eliminated it thinking that we didn't have enough players for it, but would you like that bonus in there?

Do it at your own peril. I don't think Jesus will bring him anything, if award farts will care about Taxi Driver 2049 I will be... mildly impressed, and both of those are already in the past, so no pennies.
