Agreed. He was phenomenal in Conclave. It seems a lot of voters thought he had already won. So they gave it to the guy that does already have a statue. 😪
I literally posted just this under another Oscar post about Fiennes. Of course he'd be a bit tickled, who wouldn't be, but he's too truly an artist to care about big, flashy awards.
Also - audiences know he's brilliant. Who cares about other actors?
Other actors also know he’s brilliant but Oscars don’t depend on the performance they depend on the campaign. He could easily have 2 or 3 more noms if he put the work in. Seen him lots of times around my way in London. I’ll have a word next time 😀
