Zac deserves this Oscar nomination more than anyone! It's been a long journey for him and he deserves some recognition after all these years of hard work.

[clar]

If this film doesn't get any nominations it will be a travesty. I haven't cried like this in film in a long while. That moment when Zac was watching his kids and they ask him whats wrong, so he says something like "I used to be a brother, " god damn that hit me.

I went to see the movie today. I was absolutely blown away with Zac's performance. He was phenomenal! I know what a great Actor he is but he got to my very core with this one. He definitely deserves to be recognized and respected by @TheAcademy. The movie is so amazing so sad. I cried alot. It deserves to be honored too. I'm so very proud of Zac and all the hard work he did for this movie and for his whole career.👏👏 It's his time to shine!🌟 💛

The entire cast was great but I loved Holt McCallany’s performance as Fritz. He brought a true sense of a man who never captured his dreams and lived vicariously through his sons to full full his longing need to be a champion. His love and support for his family was clouded by potential unfulfilled. The script was written to set him as the main antagonist but Holt was able to bring a humanity and regret to the character in small and quiet moments. I think his portrayal of Fritz was nuanced and subdued in a way that most actors wouldn’t be able to capture.

[kevinwright]

He channeled Kevin von Erich without really meeting him. He did a phenomenal job. The man who played Fritz was incredible.

This should get nominations for best picture, best actor Zac Efron, best supporting actor Holt Mccallany, best original screenplay

[Easybreezey]

Just got done watching it. As far as biopics go with the generic formula that most follow, this one hit very different. You become attached to the brothers and even though you may know what happens, it’s done so beautifully that it still hits you like a gut punch. A fantastic film.

Zac Efron deserves the Oscar Nomination!!

[JosephDutra]

I cannot compliment Zac Efron enough for this performance. He truly gave it everything!

[matthewheuel]

The screenplay was the best I’ve seen all year for this film. The acting was top notch. Zac Efron definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for this role. My goodness. Very well done clap. C’mon Oscar’s give this film 3-4 Oscar noms even if it doesn’t win anything 🤞

[EDENTROPIC]

Oscar nomination is deserved for Zac! The entire cast….WELL DONE!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[acnixon]

How can OSCARS even feature The Iron Claw if it doesn't believe that it deserves a single nomination like WTF --- not even Zac Efron, seriously???

[CHRISPYakaKON]

This should do well during award season imo

[jordyhitty]

the "i told you to look out for him" hits so hard after watching the film

[Badbunny]

Huge snub for Zac. Such an epic performance.

[phosimmie]

If Zac doesn’t win, fine I don’t agree but fine. But if he doesn’t even get nominated 🤯
