IMO “The Death of Stalin” is a very good example of that. All of the actors are on the top of their game, but it’s a black, political comedy taking place in the Soviet Union, so exactly the opposite of what the Academy would even consider for an Oscar. In my personal view Simon Russell Beale as Beria is particular noteworthy: He is terrific, ie. absolutely terrifying in the role and I can’t imagine an actor playing the mass-murdering, pedophilic head of the KGB getting an Oscar (he got a BAFTA at least).

The first version of the treaty was signed in 2018, a revised version was signed in 2019. The second one is probably where the photo is from.
