Bryan Singer is not nominated this week for the Oscar. On one hand this is surprising, because the Film “Bohemian Rhapsody” belongs, however, to the best of the year and an Academy Award. It is, but then again not at all surprising, because the officials have fired the Director of the Queen’s biography prior to the completion of the film.
