Directed by the "War of Infinity" and "Final" talked with the publication The Daily Beast and explained their position.
We do not remove the films for the sake of awards. Yes, it was very difficult - we removed the two most expensive kineomix in history. But I want to allocate Robert Downey Jr. I do not remember when I also saw the public to respond throughout the world to the actor's game so emotionally. In cinemas, the spectators cried and went crazy. Before we did not see anything like it, and if he did not deserve an Oscar for this, then I do not know who deserves in general
Said Joe Russo.
The 54-year-old Downey Jr. One of those popular actors who have not yet been awarded gold statuette to their years, although he has two nominations. In 1993, he had a chance to receive Oscar for Chaplin, and in 2009 - for "soldiers fails."
It is likely that the Rousseau brothers entered for Robert is not just like that. This year, for the award for the "Best Film" fought Kineomix "Black Panther". And if academics evaluated this picture on a par with others, then why not appreciate the actor's game as Tony Stark?
