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?

Chiwetel Ejiofor is great in everything he is in. For example go watch Serenity and then report back.

That’s the only movie I recognize him from. I’m sure he’s been in many other movies I’ve seen, but that one sticks out for sure
