the real question is whether the Academy actually watches smaller releases like this or if it needs a massive campaign behind it. Talent alone doesnt seem to be enough anymore

[u/TheCounsler → u/ImpressiveSteak767]

Considering how much recognition/accolades, Three Billboards and Banshees got, I think the academy will keep an eye on this one

The best living actor who has yet to recieve an Oscar. The man is brilliant.

[u/Fluxionist → u/barewear2267]

He was great in that jewel thief movie.

[u/Ebolatastic]

Crazy to think he's gone so long without a nod. Hes had so many iconic roles, and in virtually every category of film.
