Regina King’s ‘One Night in Miami’ Enters the Oscars Race From Venice

, her feature debut behind the camera. With all the goodness that unfolds over its 110-minute runtime, the drama seems poised to go far in this year’s awards race.

Showing incredible control of the subject, King never lets the story get away from her. Not stepping into the director’s chair as a gimmick, she pays meticulous attention to the four men’s stories and the world she builds for the viewer. A prime candidate for the SAG Awards’ top prize for best cast ensemble, Ben-Adir, Goree, Hodge and Odom Jr., are sensationally effective in their roles, offering crucial support to one another. To cite a standout is to travel expeditiously through various parts of the film. The first third is utterly owned by Goree’s high-minded, energetic turn as Muhammad Ali.

Odom Jr. is already having a bang-up year, standing out in “Hamilton” that premiered on Disney Plus in July. With Disney’s awards team planning on an Academy Awards campaign for the musical, despite, it will be interesting to see if he will be able to find a singular voice for his chances this year. No decisions have been made yet on the category campaign for any of the men from “One Night in Miami.

The award is worthless now. Insulting to everyone. Too bad she probably could've won legitimately if not for this pathetic affirmative action for art. You people are clowns.

Of course she will. She doesn't have much token competition. Participation trophies for all!

The Academy doesn't care about films directed by women. But if the story centers on men, sometimes they don't care a little less. Probably still no tho, lbr.
