I figure there is a 1% chance that Nolan is smart enough to have these thoughts:
“I can kill two birds with one stone. If I make piece of crap movie that checks all the Oscar boxes, the Academy will finally give me an Oscar, for the worst movie I have ever made. That will show everyone how stupid the Academy is. It will serve them right. And in addition, this stupid woke stuff seems to be dying, which is great. But if I make a really crappy movie which is just dripping with Woke stuff, it will really put the final nail in that coffin. It’s worth it. And the movie will probably make money, so the studio won’t really be mad at me. I’ll be performing a service.”
I wish Nolan was even half as good as he seems to think he is.
There's a fallacy here: Nolan already won Oscars for Oppenheimer.
