Funny thing was, he was more charasmatic than the enitre trilogy cast.

The cast seem warrant a SAG ensemble nomination.

Its reported budget is half of Tenets

Marketing team is clearly telling Nolan to cast past A-listers/near A-listers for the free marketing that will pop up.

Nolan has never gotten one of those and I doubt this will be his first unless it’s his most conventionally Oscar bait project but he’s by no means an actors Director

[Whispers] Solo, while not great, was the best non OT star wars movie.

Legit insane take. Not saying it will get a nom fot sure. But def think Nolan always gets really good performances out of his actors

Tbh I don't think a bad take invalidates in general usually pretty strong work from most actors involved in his films. Just his films tend to not be ones that end up as showcases for actors, but I don't think that means he hasn't gotten good performances out of them.

He's no Tarantino. Most of his actors get Oscar noms/wins

I actually don’t have a problem with the performances in his films. I just figured that someone was going to inevitably bring that one up. 

[Lucas]

Nolan is definitely not an actors director. He gets good performances, but he always seems muuuch less interested in that than everything else.

How is it an insane take? I wouldn't disagree he's gotten some good performances (McConaughey!) but it's pretty clear the industry doesn't view him that way--it's not like he's a David O. Russell. I think he's viewed as a big visual tech artist first and foremost (hence the ridiculous "cold" complaints). His actors have ever only gotten 1 nomination and it was because Ledger gave one of the best performances ever as an iconic villain. Nobody from Dunkirk gained any acting traction. He's never made it into the SAG Ensemble (not even Inception or Dark Knight). 

[Ethan Hunt]

I think a lot of actors tend to put out some of their career's best work when they work with Nolan.

 

If we're talking about specifically how awards bodies view him then idk I can't answer that.

You say the cast warrants a SAG nomination. None of his casts have ever gotten a SAG nomination. That’s all I’m saying. That alone pretty clearly speaks about how awards bodies view him. It is not about how many famous people are in a film together.
