I think that ticked up (talk about McAvoy) when Daniel Kaluuya was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar last March, for Get Out. I am now hearing some people say that if Kaluuya deserved a nomination then so did McAvoy.
Get Out was an ok movie but not that special imo. I loved Jordan Peele’s and Keegan-Michael Key’s Key & Peele television program; Peele is as talented as they come imo. But Get Out was badly overrated as a horror movie imo.
March 22, says a useful but not always accurate website (the ones that gain Oscar buzz often move earlier in the schedule, although it’s not unusual for me to watch films via iTunes Canada before they show up here):
It has the same director as the previous ones, but holy cow the visuals look so much better. Not the cgi, i mean the framing and the lightning in many of the scenes.
I hope it will not be something like 155 minutes.
I see this one also has Mark Dacascos, a.k.a. Mani in my all-time favorite werewolf/kung-fu/horror movie of all time, Le Pacte des loups (2001). This portends well.
