With all talk on The Social Network's supporting players turning to Andrew Garfield and the two-faced Armie Hammer, everyone's favorite pop phenom and experimental box user Justin Timberlake feels lost in the mix. Not to worry, though, the man who brought sexy back is arranging and attending press screenings and glad-handing to secure an Oscar nom of his own. He may have two Emmys and six Grammys, but it's clear this kid is after the Tracy Jordan dream.
In a move straight from the Sean Parker handbook, Justin has apparently been cozying up to former Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Kevin Spacey for advice on how to work his campaign and overtake those other two kids in the movie. Watch your back Geoffrey Rush.
Working in his favor is that nothing says Oscar win like horrible follow-up movie and Justin has that on lock. I mean, Yogi Bear?
