Hoping project Hail Mary pulls an f1!
I wonder if the crux of the MS campaign in China/Asia was him winning Best Actor. But without that happening and not nearly as an aggressive campaign (perhaps due to finances or worrying about Oscar chance or maybe cultural differences) it just didn’t pan out. This movie has yet to release in SK as far as I know and I’m wondering if Chalamet and co are over it…
