I think VICE is the wrong movie at the wrong time. Ten years ago it would have been welcomed. Now it's making fun of a president who has softened in the memories of Americans--plus the Bushes just reccently lost their partiarch. If the Academy gives it too many golden statues, to middle America that will confirm all their biases against the Hollywood elites. I wonder if some folks might support THE MULE just to even the score.
given what Bale did for "the Machinist" I'm not entirely surprised. still a little bit crazy, though. but if they paid him millions of dollars I guess it's -sorta- worth it.
