Scent of a Woman was all about Al Pacino, There Will Be Blood was all about Daniel Day-Lewis, and there's not a single moment in Darkest Hour you're not thinking about the actor, buried under all the makeup, who plays Churchill. Of course, the movie is about how Churchill persevered against Nazi appeasers during WWII, how he "mobilized the English language and sent it into battle". But while Gary Oldman doesn't look like Churchill one bit, by the end of the movie, you're thinking maybe Winston Churchill mysteriously looked like Gary Oldman; you just never noticed. Expecting an Oscar win.
PS: The second time Dunkirk is being mentioned in a major movie the same year.
