No one is "due"...Christopher Nolan finally won because he made a great movie that appealed to all branches of the Academy
All the movie is guaranteed at this time are NOMINATIONS ...Best Picture, screenplay, director, Sean Penn.... Leo isn't guaranteed for that performance, and we'll have to see if either of the lesser two actresses get into supporting. But right now, all it is is hype from PTA fanboys...and yes, I'm including Moviesnob in there :)

I love Sinners. If I was voting for director; I'd probably vote for PTA. Several things about it are truly masterful. {nm} Sep 28, 00:19
And yet, there must be a reason why PTA hasn't won an Oscar...I think he wins for screenplay over director. {nm} Sep 28, 07:12
More reason that he's "due to win". {nm} Sep 28, 07:41
No one is "due"...Christopher Nolan finally won because he made a great movie that appealed to all branches of the Academy Sep 28, 07:51
One Battle After Another hits at the right political moment. Some voters will see SINER just as a horror film. {nm} Sep 28, 08:02
And they don't vote until January. You have no way of telling what percentage of the Academy are liberal Americans. Sep 28, 08:12
Gleiberman "think a solid segment of the audience for this movie is going to come from the right. " Sep 28, 08:27
It's definitely possible. {nm} Sep 28, 09:10
