Jimmy Kimmel comin' in hot: 'Don't Look Up' Oscar-nominated over 'Spider-Man'? Why?

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a Spider can — which doesn't include getting nominated for best picture, apparently.

Much to the dismay of Marvel fans — including repeat Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel — "Spider-Man: No Way Home" did not receive a nomination for the top prize at this year's Academy Awards. Despite wowing audiences and critics alike, the Sony blockbuster was almost entirely shut out of Tuesday's nominations, landing only a single nod for visual effects.

On Tuesday's episode of his late-night show, Kimmel did not mince words while lamenting the film academy's lack of love for Spidey. For reference, the 10 movies competing for best picture are "Belfast," "CODA," "Don't Look Up," "Drive My Car," "Dune," "King Richard," "Licorice Pizza," "Nightmare Alley," "The Power of the Dog" and "West Side Story."
