It\u2019s tough to take, but the right way to honor Peter\u2019s horrific photo. The film\u2019s color palette, too, is not fully black and white, but washed out like a faded picture.<\/p>\n<p>What hinders Fuqua is a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 packed with action thrillers. Sometimes the movie\u2019s tone and attitude leans more \u201cEqualizer 2\u201d and less \u201c12 Years a Slave.\u201d Marcelo Zarvos\u2019 unrelenting score, before it finds cinematic sweep during a later Civil War battle, suggests a modern revenge movie featuring cars and cool sunglasses. Of course, Fuqua\u2019s 2001 crime thriller \u201cTraining Day\u201d didn\u2019t receive Best Picture, Director or Screenplay Oscar nods \u2014 but Denzel Washington nonetheless won Best Actor for his performance in it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Slap-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Will Smith shocked the Oscars audience when he slapped presented Chris Rock. \" class=\"wp-image-24846128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Slap-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Slap-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/Slap-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Smith shocked the Oscars audience when he slapped presenter Chris Rock at the ceremony in March. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Don\u2019t be surprised if Smith snags, at least, a Golden Globe nomination for \u201cEmancipation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The scandal-plagued Hollywood Foreign Press Association is itself making a comeback after an embarrassing diversity scandal that led NBC to cancel the 2022 broadcast. And, awkwardly for them, the field of lauded male actors this year is #SoWhite: Fraser (\u201cThe Whale\u201d), Colin Farrell (\u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin\u201d), Austin Butler (\u201cElvis\u201d), Bill Nighy (\u201cLiving\u201d) and Hugh Jackman (\u201cThe Son\u201d) lead the pack. At the Globes, Butler will likely be on the shortlist for best actor in a musical or comedy, and so could Farrell. An earlier collaboration between Farrell and director Martin McDonagh, \u201cIn Bruges,\u201d was deemed a comedy by the HFPA. That leaves multiple openings for Smith \u2014 and an opportunity for the HFPA to boost the sagging ratings of its struggling ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Smith clearly isn\u2019t hiding from the spotlight anymore, either. Last week, he did a so-so apology interview with Trevor Noah on \u201cThe Daily Show,\u201d and spoke with Fox 5 DC about the controversy\u2019s repercussions, saying he will \u201ccompletely understand\u201d if viewers are not ready to see \u201cEmancipation\u201d because of the slap.<\/p>\n<p>For the time being, if Smith is nominated he will not be allowed to attend the Oscars. The Globes and SAG Awards are fair <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>. However, who thought eight months ago that he would even be in contention for an Oscar? In Hollywood, anything can happen.\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
