We’d give him all the awards for “The Thing” and “Big Trouble in Little China” but those weren’t Oscar-friendly movies. But “Miracle,” about the Miracle on Ice hockey game at the 1980 Olympics sure was. (And it’s not a great movie, but Russell’s bristling turn as a corrupt cop in “Dark Blue” deserved Oscar’s attention). Maybe if Kurt makes more movies like “The Hateful Eight” with Quentin Tarantino, he’ll finally be invited Oscar night.
