i think we're going to see at least "argo" take best director for ben affleck.but probably best picture. too. that's very controversial. because remember, "argo" was not nominated for best director at the oscars this week. and normally you need those parallel nominations for picture and director to go all the way. but i think we're going to see something amazing tonight that could be the game-changer of oscar season. >> i watched that movie last night. i'm a fan of history, it's a very, very good film. tom o'neill, editor of goldderby.com. thanks very much for the progostication. we'll see how it all plays out. thank you. >>> only three states that managed to avoid this menace so far. you know what i'm talking about -- it's the flu. chances are you've either had it or you're really trying hard not to get it we've have tips on how to avoid the epidemic. a great life. but she has some dental issues she's not happy about. so i introduced jill to crest pro-health for life. selected for people over 50. pro-health for life is a toothpaste that defends against tender,

tavis: i think the term you used last night, speaking of your friend ben affleck, was it "actor jail? " was that the phrase? >> actor jail, yeah. [laughter] tavis: actor jail. so last night you were making the point that there was a period in his life where he was confined to actor jail, where in your conversation with him he expressed to you that he was selling magazines but not selling movie tickets. >> right, right. tavis: when your boy goes through something like that, two questions -- how did you process seeing him in jail and you couldn't bail him out as bad as you wanted. he's in actor jail, you can't bail him out. how do you process that? how is that you have -- the tabloids, they like chasing you around like everybody else. but how have you avoided that journey that ben had to go through? >> well, first of all, it was horrible, i think, for all of his friends and his family and anybody, because for me, what was really tough to swallow about that whole period of time was there was such a misunderstanding, there was such a misconception about who he really was. he was getting r

nominated tom hooper, and excuse me i just blanked for a second i had it in my head a second ago, ben affleckand captain bigelow, so what happened was that -- excellent -- but ben assign lynn and michael hanukkah cannot be crying these two wonderful directors, one who first time made a feature for $1.8 million in new orleans and michael hanukkah considered one of the greatest directors in the world, i am pleased they are in there but i am shocked a film like argo or zero dark 30 which earned many other nominations managed to leave out the director which preferred the ones we just acknowledged. >> rose: how about the actress everybody from 85-year-old to -- >> yes, the widest range ever between two nominees. >> rose: so how does this shape up and the early choices that may very well be -- >> i would love it to be for apower. >> amour. >> >> rose: you think the she is one of the favorites. >> well, amour is more than i would have expected from the academy. >> i wouldn't expect them to pop that knowing what the subject matter is and it is about an old woman being shepherded to her death by her h
