The Academy is notorious for selecting highbrow, intellectual films that don\u2019t make it into the mainstream. Now late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is addressing the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The comedian did a long bit asking aloud why \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home,\u201d which is obliterating box office records, was passed over in favor of the satirical comedy \u201cDon\u2019t Look Up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHow did [\u2018Spider-Man: No Way Home\u2019] not get one of the 10 nominations for best picture?\u201d Kimmel asked.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cForget the fact that the movie made $750 million and is still going. This was a great movie. It wasn\u2019t in the top 10 best movies of the year? There were three Spider-Men in it. You\u2019re telling me \u2018Don\u2019t Look Up\u2019 was better than \u2018Spider-Man?\u2019 It most certainly was not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cEven if you go by the critics reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, \u2018Don\u2019t Look Up\u2019 got a 46% and \u2018Spider-Man: No Way Home\u2019 has 90%. For God\u2019s sake, \u2018Jackass Forever\u2019 has an 89%,\u201d Kimmel continued.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhy do best picture nominees have to be serious? When did that become a prerequisite for getting nominated for an Academy Award? You wanna know what happened? Voters looked at the list and saw the names Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep and they checked the box and then they put their kids in the car and went to see the movie \u2018Spider-Man.\u2019 And they loved it! But they didn\u2019t vote for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cNo Way Home\u201d did earn one Oscar nod in the visual effects category. But that\u2019s a small consolation prize for a movie that many fans believe deserves much more, including the highly coveted Best Picture nomination. Especially if a box office failure and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/even-film-critics-are-hating-on-leonardo-dicaprios-new-climate-change-movie-smug-shrill-obvious-satire\">critically panned<\/a> mess like \u201cDon\u2019t Look Up\u201d somehow made the cut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Variety <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/film\/news\/jimmy-kimmel-slams-oscars-dont-look-up-spider-man-1235175759\/\"><span>noted<\/span><\/a><span> how The Academy changed their rules this year to include a fixed number of 10 best picture nominees. Many fans hoped this would leave room for mainstream blockbuster films like \u201cNo Way Home,\u201d but apparently they were destined to be disappointed.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The publication also noted that Marvel\u2019s \u201cBlack Panther\u201d and DC\u2019s \u201cJoker\u201d remain the only comic book movies to earn Oscar nominations for the Best Picture award in the past. The nominations typically get awarded to more obscure titles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Oscar or not, the newest \u201cSpider-Man\u201d is still outperforming box office expectations. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/box-office-spider-man-passing-up-avatar-original-domestic-run-1235087855\/\"><span>The Hollywood Reporter<\/span><\/a><span>, the superhero flock is passing up the original run of record-setting movie \u201cAvatar\u201d at the domestic box office to become the number three highest earning movie of all time, not adjusted for inflation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cNo Way Home\u201d is still raking in cash, earning an additional $9.6 million this past weekend to finish Sunday with $749 million in total ticket sales. That\u2019s less than $1 million shy of the $749.8 million that James Cameron\u2019s \u201cAvatar\u201d earned (not adjusted for inflation).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, will be premiering on Thursday, February 10th at 9 p.m. ET on YouTube.
