Dee Shan I disagree with you. George definitely should’ve been nominated but not instead of Leo. In OUATIH, Leo, who is a pretty confident and famous actor, plays an actor who: has zero confidence and has been forgotten about, which he notices massively, then he plays the actor playing a cowboy villain but the actor he plays has no range so he plays it not badly but not well. That’s genuinely incredible acting and one of the best performances in years. It’s literally acting on top of acting on top of acting. He was genuinely incredible! I believe he 100% deserves to be nominated.
