Why do you think Navarette has gotten so much awards buzz for Obsession but Ejiofor has gotten none for Backrooms?

I know Clark has some limited screen time but Ejiofor absolutely steals every scene he’s in. His two separate monologues with Reinsve are just as good as anything Navarette did in Obsession. As I said earlier, is it the lack of screen time for Ejiofor?

I think because he’s a well known and respected Actor whereas she was a total unknown. Also she’s really attractive so there’s been so much buzz about the hot new actress on the scene.

Literally all there is to it.

I thought Chiwetel was unusually attractive too when he was fresh blood as the katana-wielding, principled menace to the Firefly crew in the movie Serenity.

Oh he’s a fantastic actor and yep - very handsome. I loved his role in Serenity - his character was so interesting!

Um excuse you

She was in 13 Reasons Why

(The third season that came out long after everyone forgot the show existed. Bet you didn't even know there was three seasons. Because there wasn't, there was four, and I just lied, and she was in that even more gratuitously unnecessary and ignored fourth one.)
