Cuba Gooding Jr. recently appeared on The Graham Norton Show alongside Vera Drake actress Imelda Staunton. Both actors talked about their past experiences at the Oscars. Gooding shared that Jack Nicholson shared some advice to him when he was a nominee in 1997. He said: ?Cubie, when you?re nominated, you?re hot until that awards show. When you win, you?re hot for one year. And that?s it. That?s it in Hollywood." In 1997, Gooding won best supporting actor for "Jerry Maguire" The supporting actors awards go early in the evening, so Gooding said it was interesting to sit in a room full of hopeful nominees after winning his award.
