      You have to pick one or the other as they were both in supporting roles. Now here's the other problem. Christoph Waltz was amazing and was the primary supporting actor. You can't nominate 3 people for the same award and all of them were in the same damn movie. I agree Leo and Samuel were awesome but that's just how it is. Waltz won every supporting award you could for his role.

    Hot take: the released version of Django IS the Director’s Cut… at this point there’s no way someone at a movie studio is telling Quentin Tarantino what to cut out of his films.

    Leo made this film. He's such a talented and believable actor.

    What a great guest and Howard gets the best out of the guest. He’s the best. Now I gotta go find the whole interview.

    Quentin Tarantino not being awarded for his role in Django is outrageous.
