Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 writer-director James Gunn is throwing his weight behind an Oscar push for Yondu actor Michael Rooker.
Gunn simply affirmed Smith’s feelings by tweeting, “Agreed.” See Gunn’s tweet below.
One observation Smith shared was that Rooker’s performance is deserving of an Oscar nomination, adding that if he doesn’t get a nod, “there is no justice in the world.”
Should Marvel and Disney campaign for a nomination for Rooker, they’ll be in good company since Warner Bros. is reportedly planning to seek Oscar nominations for Best Picture for Wonder Woman and its director, Patty Jenkins.
