Not really comparable.And people are not reading what I wrote properly. The reason to think that the director of SELMA was snubbed was because it is unusual for a Best Picture nominee to not also have a Best Director nominee; indeed it is unusual for a Best Picture WINNER not to also have a Best Director WINNER.
