@@Nitish_NK13 Flower Moon is my most anticipated movie but I highly doubt Leo's performance will come anywhere close to what Cillian did in Oppenheimer. Cillian is just a superior actor than Leo in my opinion even though the latter has much more fame. *Cillian vs Joaquin* is the real showdown for the Best Actor Oscar. However with all the marketing campaign and overall push going on currently, I think it's safe to say that Cillian has it on lockdown.
