For those still bitter that renegade Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu’s divisive theatreland satire Birdman beat out Richard Linklater’s Boyhood for the best picture Oscar in 2015, his latest dramedy sounds like athreat rather than apromise.

We’re calling it the biggest Oscar snub of modern times – Charles Melton should have been recognised for his tremendous performance in Todd Haynes’ May December as ayoung man groomed by and subsequently married to an older woman (played by Julianne Moore).
