TIFF

At the press conference for Argo, John Goodman may have fallen asleep. Yes, while he was on stage. It was hard to tell — he had his eyes closed for about three minutes, and he might have just been concentrating really hard on something located on the inside of his eyelids, but there's a good chance he was catching some z's.

The first day of the Toronto International Film Festival, as expected, was total mania. No matter how many times one has participated in this beast, it seems one can never remember how it works.
