He had tried to send screeners but Charlie purposely screwed it up by sending copies of Fool's Paradise instead.

Howerton doesn't have a certificate showing that he doesn't have donkey brains.

I don't think they saw Blackberry. Didn't really get a good release. My area didn't even release the movie into theaters.

I agree. The cinematography in Oppenheimer is nothing special.

I mean the movie looks fine but if it had been released in 2022 I'm not sure it would've even made the cut. And personally I'd rank it handily below my 10 favorites last year. I'm hardpressed to pick anything I've seen [yet] this year other than maybe The Killer (?) that's significantly better, but stacked against other cinematography winners "nothing special" is a good way to describe it...

where was all this love for B&W when Tragedy of Macbeth was on the field? (or Lighthouse, or Cold War, etc)

Simple. They weren't top BP contenders.
