I'm disappointed he wasn't nominated for Best Director for Silence

I haven't seen it yet but I'm not that surprised that it isnt nominated for anything. I've read very mixed reviews for it. I really want to see it but my local theater didn't even show, which sucks.

Indeed, Silence is a great movie and its unbelievable its not nominated for best movie, director, etc

IMO it should not only have been nominated but should have won these categories too...

It's tragic Silence won zero Oscars while Suicide Squad won one. Which film deserves to be an Oscar winning picture? I suppose that's subjective.

You're right, Silence is a great movie. I think they did zero promotion for this film and released it at a weird time to like three theaters in the country. Too bad because it's an important movie.

They didn't want a film that portrays the Catholic religion in a "positive" way.
