If you hadn't noticed yet, our beloved Walter, John Goodman, is in two films up for the Academy Award's 2011 Best Picture statue.  The first is a black and white silent film titled The Artist.  In it he plays a studio boss involved in the film industry back before movies looked and especially sounded like they do today.  The second is a film based off a book dealing with the September 11th tragedy in the US titled Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.  I think it's great to see Goodman being recognized for his work.  So many people remember him for Rosanne, which isn't the worst thing in the world - I just think he's done better things.  Here's an article linked below.  At this moment I haven't seen either film and am hoping to before The Oscars.

  I remember him in O brother.., as a bible seller (Polyphemus, the cyclop, in The Oddysey), and also in Barton Fink as the serial killer that sets the hotel in fire. I think he's a great performer a sort of a musician of the acting art...

  But mostly, I remember him as the friend that all of us, in a way, have or dream to have: Walter, the impulsive, yet strict, unconscious, lousy and spontaneous Walter...
