@bitacorasdelcine: The rating that killed an Oscar win. When Shame (2011) was slapped with an NC-17 rating, it effectively ended its Academy Award campaign before it began. Studios usually cut films down to an 'R' to secure nominations, but director Steve McQueen refused to censor the reality of addiction. The result? Michael Fassbender delivered one of the most raw, exposed performances of the decade-winning the Volpi Cup at Venice but being completely ignored by the Oscars. It remains one of the most cited "snubs" in modern film history. #Shame #MichaelFassbender #stevemqueen #bitacoradelcine
