Is this how ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ gets its moment at the Academy Awards?
Since theOscar nominationslast week , some babe ( read : Jimmy KimmelandKevin Smith ) have been angry thatSpider - Man : No Way Homedid not get a Best Picture nomination despite being a cultural phenomenon and top 2021 ’s domesticated box - office chart . ( Has n’t it acquire enough ? It has the warmheartedness and minds of the world ! ) Now the Academy has announced a novel contest that is a moderately cobwebby fashion to get Spidey , or at least a populist Spidey eq , into the telecast .
According toThe Hollywood Reporter , the March 27ceremonywill admit a tribute to the 2021 movie that gets the most votes on Twitter via the hashtag # OscarsFanFavorite . ( If you do n’t require to go so public with your financial support forSpace Jam : A New Legacy , you could also submit your pickhere . ) There ’s also a category for # OscarsCheerMoment where so - call in film lover can reconcile their favourite scenes , some of which will be broadcast on Oscar dark . I surmise that the people behind this activation , or whatever you want to call it , are reckon the bigNo Way Homerevealis destined to make the leaning . Can I suggest thesex scene between a fair sex and a railway car inTitane ? What aboutBaby Annette ’s Hyper Bowl performance ? Or thetitular duel in theThe Last Duel ? ( I actuallydidcheer in the dramatic art during that very gory culmination . )
The Oscars have been endeavor to constitute something similar for a while now as a perhaps ill-conceived way to combat the show ’s sinking broadcast ratings . In 2018 , a proposed award for the ripe " democratic film " was met with widespread backlash , and theidea for the family was finally drop . # OscarsFanFavorite is a Christ’s Resurrection of variety , though it has the potential to be an even bigger disaster . Of course , one presume the telecast producers are hopingNo Way Homeis the victor , but have they considered how diehard fans can game the cyberspace ? We wear theSnyderverse championsare already summoning their army , but they ’ll fit an unexpected blockade when they realize that only film condition forBest Picture considerationare eligible . ( Is thisSing 2 ’s minute ? )

This mishegoss is already invite plenty of societal - sensitive eye rolls from the Oscars ' core al-Qaeda : the people who really twitch about movies of all sort , most of whom are thrilled thatDrive My Carnabbed a Best Picture nomination overNo Way Home . It ’s all a goofy Band - Aid for the Academy ’s bigger identity crisis , but at least the end result should be somewhat comic . We ’ll just endeavor to forget that whatever time is devoted to honoring the " rooter favourite " on Oscar night could have been spent on speeches from the winners of the Governors Awards ' lifetime achievement combining weight — Samuel L. Jackson , Elaine May , Liv Ullmann , and Danny Glover . Is that not enough star world power for you ?
