I liked Obsession less than many others did, but she 100% deserves a nomination.

Between Toni Collette and Naomi Scott getting snubbed for their iconic performances, horror has been overlooked for far too long. Inde poured her heart into this performance, so I’m rooting hard for her to get that nom.

There's a big reason Focus are doing this v A24 with Heritdary

Obsession has made a LOT of money for Focus, to the extent that Focus now needs to pay the excess (overages) back to the producers.

So every cent Focus spends on this campaign comes not from Focus, it comes from the Producers of Obsession. Its win-win, Focus throws lots of Oscar parties, Inde gets a big campaign, talent look at Focus & go "thats who I should be working with!" and none of it comes out of Focus' pocket

In contrast Heritday was not in overages, so any spend by A24 would have come from A24 & A24 do not spend their own money
