Samuel L. Jackson thinks that Spider-Man: No Way Home should be recognized at The Oscars this year. ET caught up with the Marvel star at an AppleTV+ event. He argued, “The movie that made the most money that year should get an Oscar. That’s what the Oscars are about.” A lot of fans were very disappointed to see Spidey’s big multiverse crossover get locked out of Best Picture. It seems like a lot of the big popcorn movies end up missing out and the Pulp Fiction star has some thoughts on that. In his comments on that carpet, he points to the fact these movies are made to generate money. Despite that, a lot of cinema fans would like to see lesser known projects get their time in the sun. This year also brings a lot of baggage along with it as The Oscars retools their show around changing audience demographics and the need to compete with other entertainment sources. Check out Jackson’s comments for yourself down below.
