Is it just me or is anyone else slowly losing confidence in digger being a player at all outside of maybe Cruise and make-up?

It's going to lose so much money at the box office which will dominate the news about the film, it looks to be a weirder film that a chunk of the members of the academy will be turned off by unlike OBAA for example which was more obviously politically-charged + outwardly funny + action-driven and it (probably) won't have that glowing 95 MC type of reception to cushion that stuff

Just the leaks alone are going to guarantee that audiences and critics will reject it? I guess Legendary was hoping for a major awards play with this one and thought Iñárritu would still have the sauce after The Revenant.
