People have already mentioned that this isn’t allowed in the Acting categories (kind of bizarrely imo? I think it should be) but every other category allows it. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross were nominated for the scores of both Mank and Soul a couple years ago, it happens fairly often in Costumes and Makeup/Hairstyling, and sometimes producers will have two Best Picture nominees.

I have a suspicion that the scene was filmed, but that it just didn't play well. I found Ken Takemoto pretty weak in his role, tbh. I was also expecting that scene and disappointed with the final cut, but I felt like based on his other scenes and reaction at the door I also would have been disappointed with the full conversation.

The series was definitely at its best when they slowed down for the in-depth character conversations, though. Sam and Bucky training at home was one of the very best bits.

I have an issue with the entire romance subplot...the actual meeting where Chuck sees Kelly near the end. It really killed the pacing IMHO and seemed out-of-place with the rest of the movie.

Love the actual ending...with him standing at the crossroads looking back at the late Lari White, pondering his next move (and if you're like me when you saw it you were thinking, "Go back and talk to her!")

I mean, sure there’s some talent there, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not jump pumping out unimaginative riffs of other peoples work. His last 5 out of 6 shows/films have been adaptations, not great ones at that, and his next 3 projects are adaptations. Most of those adaptations just turn into a Stephen King flick. His one original work amongst those is a relatively weak look at religious fanaticism that provides little new to the conversation. Most of his monologues either don’t contribute anything further to the story or are just a regurgitation of what’s already happened. And let’s not forget that in every one of his series, except for the fake out in Midnight Club, a major character dies in episode five.
