I don't think its gonna get Oscar nominations because the campaign against it is starting.
Dee Barnes is trending right now and the articles about Dr. Dre's abuse are starting to pick up steam since the movie is the talk of Hollywood.

Even though plenty of Oscar nominated biopics fudge the facts and gloss over things, this will be the reason for SOC's snub.

Big mistake to leave it out. They could have added a few incidents to show he had major problems then show that he had true contrition at the end.
Dre came out looking damn near perfect.

I kinda get why they left it out though. At the present time, there are a few things that can severely tarnish one's career: Domestic violence towards women, animal cruelty and homophobia.

It would be a shame if it gets taken out of contention just because it glossed over the misogyny stuff. Most of these Hollywood biopics tend to sanitize the subject of their films. I think the only one that really took a warts and all approach was Raging Bull.

Yeah most films drop 50% or more in their second week. It'll hit 100 easily. Still a huge profit.
