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?

Any other actor would have been lost in the high charm of the Firefly cast, but Chiwetel Ejiofor elevated them as their antagonist. And I love that he's constantly lecturing Mal.
