This movie is being heavily promoted by RW media. That won't prevent me from seeing it. Oldman is fantastic actor.

As far as The Oscars - he will probably be nominated but I'd be surprised if he wins. The Academy doesn't tend to reward biopics. See Downey Jr as Chaplin and Denzel as Malcom X.

Gary Oldman has been one of my fav actors a long time. rusty quoin Jan 2018 #1

Oh, Oldman is a right-winger? That's too bad. Laffy Kat Jan 2018 #3

He is a right winger like Robert DuVall . There is a difference from extreme right. rusty quoin Jan 2018 #8
