“What does the Academy have against Michael Stuhlbarg?”
Though the nominations for the 90th annual Academy Awards ushered in a ton of historic firsts, not everyone was pleased about the selections for the highly coveted honor.

Leading up to the ceremony, Stuhlbarg hadn’t been nominated for any other acting awards during the season.
In addition being a supporting player in Call Me By Your Name, Stuhlbarg, also appeared in The Shape of Water and The Post.
All three films were nominated for best picture too.
People were hoping Stuhlbarg would be a shoo-in because of his powerfully acted monologue at the end of the film.
If you haven’t seen the film, you should go to your nearest theater and remedy that.

In any event, perhaps we should all be grateful that such a perfect performance exists in the first place.
