I knew that 5 minute shot of the Dunkirk evacuation was a bad move for Joe Wright. He should have had a pretty girl walking through the exhausted soldiers, while drinking Sunny Delight to hipster tunes – that’s how you get nommed, kiddo.
Spielberg did the same for Saving Private Ryan – did no-one else notice Dakota Fanning skipping and playing with a yo-yo while they took Omaha beach?
