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?

More like "Why do the actors in the better movies get more attention"

This isn't a women vs men thing, Ejiofor has gotten award recognition in the past. Inde was in the better movie and was a major driver as to why it was better. The driving force as to why it was so good.
