The industry, and the awards race, has changed a lot since then, making <em>Roofman<\/em> an interesting test case for how voters will respond to a well-crafted studio vehicle \u2014 one that offers <strong>Channing Tatum<\/strong> a Cruise-like star turn. Gold Derby experts agree that Tatum seems destined for a Best Comedy\/Musical Actor nod at the Golden Globes&#8230; and has a dark horse shot at an Oscar nod as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Listen to our chat with Cianfrance and check out <em>Roofman<\/em> in theaters this weekend.
