The Academy Awards are notoriously hesitant towards superhero films, and this year was no different as “Spider-Man: No Way Home” fails to swing into the Best Picture category.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home,” released in December 2021, broke a lengthy box office lull, surpassing the billion-dollar mark relatively quickly. It is currently the sixth highest–grossing film of all time.
The Tom Holland-led film also found acclaim within the multiverse of critics. However, in the end, it did not clinch a nod for Best Picture. The film was only nominated for Best Visual Effects.
The last Marvel film to land a Best Picture nod was Black Panther in 2019.

It would be like someone winning the gold medal at the Olympics, but only because the world record holder was not asked to compete first… still satisfying, but it could have been more
