The nominations for the 97th annual Academy Awards had both fans and industry professionals on the edge of their seats. However, not all reacted well to the fierce level of competition.
One such case was acclaimed French director Jacques Audiard, who was caught on camera shaking his head in apparent disapproval as Cynthia Erivo was announced as a nominee for “Best Actress.”
“This should call for all of Emilia Perez‘ nominations to be revoked. What a nasty director he is,” one user wrote.
