Certain Oscars snubs are unavoidable. After all, every year brings with it a fresh batch of incredible films, and the Academy only has so much space for nominations. Each awards season necessarily involves some shocks and surprises, like this round of nominations leaving out Chase Infiniti and Jesse Plemons.
But there is one snub I was particularly dismayed about: Park Chan-wook's twisty, cruel, and absurd pitch-black comedy thriller No Other Choice. The film follows Lee Byung-hun's Yoo Man-su, a recently laid-off worker in a paper factory who decides his best bet of rejoining the industry is staging a fake job opening and killing off his competition.
