Yeah I agree... it's dumb to think this is being underlooked for being not woke.. late releases can be damned in Award Season... sometimes you have an awful movie like "Don't Look Up" made by a Oscar Winner and starring A List Oscar winner actors like Leonardo di Caprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep... you get there, it's safe to release it late.. eveyone is expecting it to get awards
You can't do the same thing when you have good TV Actors like Maura Tierney, Holt McCallany and starring an actor who's famous for a Disney Musical and still have to prove himself
The Color Purple is being kinda underlooked in Awards Season too.. but less becauae it's a movie everyone was expecting and taking seriously.. but same situation: TV actors, broadway actors
