With the arguable exception of ‘Gladiator’, no film focused on burly men running, leaping and laying into each other has ever grabbed the top prize at the Academy Awards. The voters tend to be far more interested in period drama and personal hardship. So Vin, unless you want to remake the film during the American Civil War, with horse carts, muskets, petticoats and maybe an emotionally damaged, one-legged leading man, you should probably prepare for disappointment.
