Probably losses some votes since the director was accused of touching some girl. Might be a good category to take a longer shot. The movie was good, but glossed over many aspects of Mercury's life that would have made the story more interesting, but less marketable. That's probably why Sasha Baron Cohen dropped out of the lead role.
As an aside, in the promos that ABC is running for the Awards, noticed how they have photo-shopped out Kevin Spacey from the infamous selfie taken by Ellen Degeneress? Typical Disney nonsense and Hollywood hucksters.
