Why do you think Navarette has gotten so much awards buzz for Obsession but Ejiofor has gotten none for Backrooms?

I know Clark has some limited screen time but Ejiofor absolutely steals every scene he’s in. His two separate monologues with Reinsve are just as good as anything Navarette did in Obsession. As I said earlier, is it the lack of screen time for Ejiofor?

Backrooms was good but her performance in Obsession was streets ahead of Ejifor's in Backrooms.

I don’t think “streets ahead” is a a saying.

I mean that's fine that you think that, but it's just your opinion.
