This should be an insult to the acting world.
A guy replaces another guy, and within days...kills it in a movie and gets nominated. I don't care if Plummer took over the remake of "Spartacus" and outdid Tony Curtis, this signifies to me, the media doesn't give a flying fuck about talent. Of all the movies they could've pulled from. For instance, Tracy Letts in "Lady Bird" who had the most subtle of performances.
Instead, it's the one that got the most salacious attention since it was under a ton of press that he replaced a lecherous homo.
Here's the rub...you should've cast Plummer to begin with then. Instead of shitty makeup on a younger guy. Give seniors a chance, you self-righteous cocksucking motherfuckers!
Secondly, it's most likely Christopher Plummer being...Christopher Plummer. Why not Max Von Sydow being Max Von Sydow. These are the same people in EVERY fucking movie. They don't change. We think they do because they have great screen presence. Is that acting? I guess in film it is.
I'm almost excited for Sam Rockwell to take the prize. Simply to spite this film. And I hated "Three Billboards..." How's that for politics?
