Daniel Craig Could Land His First Oscar Nomination for Luca Guadagnino’s Sexually Charged Drama ‘Queer’


What are Luca Guadagnino’s "Queer" Oscars chances after premiering at TIFF?

He was a menacing Irish mobster in Sam Mendes’ “Road to Perdition” (2002) and played the hilarious, twang-talking Joe Bang in Steven Soderbergh’s underrated comedy “Logan Lucky” (2017). In lead actor specifically, this includes big names like William Hurt (“Kiss of the Spider Woman”), Tom Hanks (“Philadelphia”), and more recently Rami Malek (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”).To be clear, I’m neither condemning nor defending this practice — just pointing out its prevalence. His other films have garnered mixed reactions, and his latest, “Queer,” might face the same fate.That said, Guadagnino’s unique blend of sex, drugs, and killer soundtrack choices deserves praise.
