Joaquin Phoenix is also getting acknowledge for his portrayal of Joker. With producers such as Vincent D'Onofrio and Jessica Chastain claiming that the actor deserves recognition for his performance.
Todd Phillips' Joker is now on its third week and it's going really good so far. The movie is set to bring in a huge profit which could put it side by side with what Avengers: Infinity War made on its premiere.
Even though it's a divisive movie, add the fact that it's a standalone film, the Joker proved to be a success and is well on its way to becoming the highest-grossing film of the year.
Joker is currently screening in cinemas.
