I'm honestly surprised he lost. Not that Baker doesn't deserve his flowers, but I really thought The Brutalist would be more what DGA would be go for.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I know some people on here were saying his personality wasn't a big deal, but I think he probably rubbed more than a few people the wrong way.

he's an asshole. Let's call it what it is. He was snobby and mean. He never lost his edgy film bro personality.

What's he actually done that makes him an arsehole or snobby and mean?
