The Tom Hanks movie A Man Called Otto was well-received by audiences at the box office, but was not even in consideration for the Academy Awards.
The Tom Hanks-led A Man Called Otto was generally well-received by audiences but was never a serious contender for an Academy Award. The movie premiered in theaters on December 30, 2022, making it just eligible for consideration for the 2023 Academy Awards. Out of all the possible Oscar awards that would have been within the realm of possibility for A Man Called Otto, Tom Hanks' performance as the grouchy protagonist was the most probable option to receive a nomination.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The release of the movie generated a positive audience reaction to Hanks' performance as the titular character and the movie as a whole. Also, A Man Called Otto performed well at the box office. But it would seem that its popularity didn't extend to Academy Award voters. A Man Called Otto failed to earn any nominations for the Oscars or the Golden Globes. That said, it's exclusion from these ceremonies isn't bizarre.
However, it appears critics didn't take to Otto's relatable outlook in A Man Called Otto. Based on the overwhelming support in audience feedback of the film, viewers apparently were not expecting the same charismatic Tom Hanks they had already seen in dozens of movies spanning four decades and warmed to it quickly. Hanks took a creative risk and broke out of his usual image by taking on the character of Otto.
