Fast x is actually garbage and bombed at the domestic box office so this nomination doesn’t make any sense.

Alan Ritchson, the actor known for portraying the role of Jack Reacher in the Prime Video seriesReacher,starred as the new villain inFast X.Being the new head of The Agency who hires Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa), Alan Ritchson did give a spectacular performance but the role could have been Keanu Reeves’s. In an interview withEW,Ritchson revealed that there were some problems with the Reeves plan.
“It was just a little stroke of luck and good timing. I was working on [Ordinary Angels], a movie with Hilary Swank up in Winnipeg in the freezing cold, and I got a call that things had shifted in the plans with Keanu Reeves, which is I think who was originally intended to play my part. Tough act to follow.”
With a rating of 5.8/10 on IMDB and an average of 56% on Rotten Tomatoes,Fast Xis available to stream on Peacock Premium in the U.S. As for the Movie of the Year award, fans are pretty sure that Christopher Nolan’sOppenheimerwill take the cake.
