The creators of the comedy "Bitter! 2" in an open letter invited the authors of "Leviathan" to withdraw their candidacy, since the movie before the nomination of the movie was in the box office only one week in the only cinema, that is, the domestic viewer does not know anything about his candidate for the Academy Award.
