Russell Crowe Joins Spider-Man Spinoff ‘Kraven the Hunter’

This year, the Oscars decided to go fairly safe with its Best Picture nominees. Some people, namely superhero film fans, were hoping for a curveball with a “Spider-Man: No Way Home” addition to the category.

Refresh for latest…: Hitting 15 offshore markets ahead of its domestic debut and further overseas expansion next weekend, Sony’s Uncharted mapped out an international box office launch of $21.5M. The Tom Holland/Mark Wahlberg-starrer was No. 1 in each of its openings, taking advantage of school holidays in some markets and, of course, the Spider-Man Holland halo.

Kevin Smith has responded to Spider-Man: No Way Home being snubbed for Best Picture at the 2022 Oscars.The blockbuster Marvel film, which is currently the sixth biggest movie of all time at the box office, was nominated for one Oscar this year, for Best Visual Effects. Beating it in the Best Picture category were the likes of Jane Campion’s The Power Of The Dog (with 12 nominations in total) Dune (10), Belfast and West Side Story (seven each).Speaking on his podcast FatMan Beyond, Smith discussed the snub and vented his anger.

Charlie Cox still can’t believe he was cast in Spider-Man: No Way Home!

No Spide-Man? No Peace! At least according to director Kevin Smith, who has xpressed his vehement displeasure about the Oscar snub of Spider-Man: No Way Home from the Best Picture Oscar nominees.

Zack Sharf Kevin Smith isn’t happy with the Academy for snubbing “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in the best picture race. Despite earning critical acclaim and being one of the highest-grossing films ever made with over $750 million in the U.S. and over $1.7 billion globally, the latest “Spider-Man” film earned just a single Oscar nomination.

There could be more Daredevil in the future.

While three generations of Spider-Men recently blew the lid off “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which has grossed $1.7 billion worldwide—the sixth-highest film of all time and about to surpass James Cameron’s “Avatar” at the domestic box office with $749 million—with the help of Doctor Strange and Marvel, though we shouldn’t forget that at the end of the day, these are Marvel-produced films that are owned and distributed by Sony Pictures.

The Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday and Jimmy Kimmel isn’t happy with one movie being left off the nominations list when it comes to Best Picture.

Jimmy Kimmel thinks he knows why his favorite film of the year, Spider-Man: No Way Home got snubbed of an Oscar nomination yesterday. And he’s not happy about it.

Zack Sharf Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t understand how “Spider-Man: No Way Home” lost out on an Oscar nomination for best picture to “Don’t Look Up.” The late-night host used the Feb. 8 episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to call out Academy voters for snubbing “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which earned rave reviews and has become of the highest-grossing films ever made with nearly $750 million in the U.S. and $1.7 million worldwide.“How did [‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’] not get one of the 10 nominations for best picture?” Kimmel asked viewers.

2022 Oscar nominations, and Andrew Garfield was among the five talents picked in the Best Actor category. No, he didn’t get a nomination for his incredible long-game lie about returning to play Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home (even though that’d be totally deserved). Garfield is being recognized for portraying Rent playwright Jonathan Larson in Tick, Tick… Boom!, and funny enough, a bunch of other former Spider-Man actors also picked up Oscar nominations this year alongside him.

Oscar nominations have been announced, with The Power of the Dog leading the way on 12 nods, and plenty of love for Dune, Belfast and West Side Story – but it’s all change in the acting categories.The 94th annual Academy Awards is on Sunday March 27 and set to return in style after the Covid pandemic prevented a normal ceremony from taking place in 2021.The show will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, and will be televised live in the United States on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide.Alongside additions and exclusions for performances, Spider-Man, No Time To Die and Sir Ridley Scott where shut out of main categories, while Being the Ricardos popped up as a contender.Here’s a rundown of the 2022 Oscars’ biggest snubs and surprises…Despite a lot of noise around her performance and a Bafta nomination, Lady Gaga has been dropped from the leading actress category for her bold performance as Patrizia Reggiani in House of Gucci.The film follows the true story of Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver)’s murder and his ex-wife Reggiani (Lady Gaga), who was convicted of hiring the hitman who killed him in 1995 – years after their marriage fell apart.On that note, Sir Ridley Scott saw both of his 2021 films, House of Gucci and The Last Duel, almost entirely shut out by the Academy, save for a solitary nomination for House of Gucci’s make-up and hairstyling (Jared Leto’s physical transformation into the portly, balding Paolo Gucci alone is surely worth the recognition).Leto himself has also missed out on a supporting actor nod, meaning his acting won’t see him in contention for both a Razzie (well, two actually) and an Oscar for the same part.After a kerfuffle with submission for the Baftas, Spider-Man: No Way Home

The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Tick, Tick... Boom!, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, this just might be the year of Garfield. (Yes, we know he's not likely to be rewarded with a little gold man for his work as Peter Three, but we're including it here for reasons.)No matter who wins, it's going to be a glorious evening full of gowns, champagne, and drawn-out acceptance speeches.

The “Toy Story” franchise holds a special place in the hearts of millions of people. So, you can’t blame Disney for wanting to keep that series going.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment WriterIt should not be shocking in the least that “Spider-Man: No Way Home” failed to earn an Academy Award nomination for best picture.
