Hm, another mention for Hounsou. I guess I'm gonna have to predict him Friday. Good for U93, once again showing that everyone waaaay overreacted at the snub by NBR. Oh, and Whitaker and Mirren are now 4 for 4 with the critics. Mirren was expected, but Whitaker? Crazy! Wait, when you include the New York Online Critics, it's 5 for 5!
