    Benny Safdie doesn’t make box-office-numbers kinds of movies.

    Besides, Johnson’s producing it. It’s his money. He wanted Oscar bait and got Oscar bait.

        Hollywood running its own rewards shows has always been the Obama putting a medal on Obama meme…

        In fact, rewards ceremonies for most things are nothing but BS. Very, very few are actual rewards that seriously considered all applicable content, and even fewer serve a purpose beyond ego inflation.

      Yeah, from what I’ve seen it looks great, it’s just not a blockbuster or even trying to be one.

        Looked cringe to me. Throwing on a wig doesn’t automatically make you a “serious actor”. And a bad wig at that. Like someone else said, the whole thing reeks of Oscar bait.
