FYC = for your consideration, apparently

In eight films released over the last 19 years, Spider-Man has saved people falling from buildings, cars hanging from bridges and the world from any number of evildoers. But with the most recent film about the comic book superhero, Jon Watts Spider-Man: No Way Home, did he also save the theatrical moviegoing experience? And could he yet save the Oscars, too?

No Way Home debuted last Thursday only in theaters and domestically grossed an astonishing $50 million that night alone en route to a $260 million opening weekend, which is not only a pandemic-era record, but the second-best opening weekend of all time. And as we head into the Christmas weekend, it is already the highest-grossing film of 2021. Moreover, No Way Home landed a 94% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which is better than Belfast (86%), King Richard (91%), Licorice Pizza (92%) or West Side Story (94%), among other Oscar hopefuls.

With those sorts of stats, it looks like an obvious contender for a best picture Oscar nomination if, that is, you can get past its genre. (To date, only one comic book-inspired superhero movie has ever been nominated for best picture not 2008s The Dark Knight, not 2008s Iron Man and not 2019s Avengers: Endgame, but just 2018s Black Panther.) But at a time when movie theaters and the Oscars telecast are hanging on by a thread, should that really matter? I would argue not, as did four key players behind the film each of whom is an Academy member and has experience at the Oscar game during conversations we had this week.

No Way Home being in the same tier as Titanic and Return of the King (popular movies that won Oscars) would be amazing.

If they give Willem Dafoe an Oscar, will he become Willem Dafriend?

I mean seems a little arbitrary to exclude Joker but whatever floats their boat.
