The big question in the minds of many fans of Dominic Cooper’s works is why is his name not on nomination lists of this year's awards show? Most lists are out, a few have come and gone, and the Oscars reflect an attitude of snubbing this mighty fine actor. His work in The Devil's Double is superb. He plays two contrasting types of...
