Wow, Out of the Past! Shame Chris can’t join that one. I like Mohicans quite a bit, flawed as it is. Wes Studi is amazing, but the romance and dialogue is about as cheesy as it can get (but the source material – and the 1936 version – is also pretty cheesy – maybe they could have tried to be less faithful to it). Also I didn’t really feel much chemistry between Lewis and Stowe. As far as awards, I don’t think the film was successful or critically acclaimed(don’t recall it being on many top 10 lists) enough for it to get Studi a nom, which is unfortunate(and as much as people roll their eyes at Hollywood being woke today at least today someone like Studi would have a much better chance to get into that club, while in 1993 it would be pretty tough – though Jaye Davidson getting nominated that year was sort of groundbreaking)
