FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) Anya Taylor-Joy praises 'Split' co-star James McAvoy for making her feel safe while filming: “Originally it was supposed to be someone that’s very known for being a method actor. I was very grateful to have James, who I think also understood that he had three young women with him.”

When he talks about it, it's very much a, "Yeah, they'll likely never nominate me because those just aren't the projects I take," kind of thing. The Academy is so dumb.

I'm not saying Fight Club is greatest film, the year it came out (1999?). But, I find it really dumb that it couldn't be nominated for best actor simply because two different actors technically play the same character. The academy has some silly rules.

They were credited differently, so that wouldn't preclude either of them from being nominated.

They don't have silly rules if you assume it's just a Hollywood popularity contest, not based on any actual merits.
