David oyelowo would have made a better lead


If you watch his interviews he can do the accent better than Smith and his features more closely resemble the actual Dr. Omalu

plus Oyelowo is closer in age that Omalu was at the time the story took place than Smith, who is the same age the Doctor is now

Of course Oyelowo can do the accent better. His parents are Nigerian. I definitely would've preferred to see Oyelowo get the part. He'd have been nominated for an Oscar this time around, unlike Will Smith.

I guess maybe it might have been possible David could have gotten the Oscar which I think he should have been nominated for in Selma even if he didn't winl
