We have to have this conversation again? Alright, in the words of the immortal Spider-Man (as voiced by Chris Pine), “Let’s do this one last time.”
We are approaching year’s end, when theaters and streaming services start to fill with awards hopefuls that are screening in time to be eligible for Oscar consideration. At the same time, movies that made a critical splash earlier in the year are circling back around, to drum up support for the Oscar campaigns. One such film is the incredible Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the second part of a planned trilogy that will conclude – hopefully in 2024 – with the highly anticipated Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. The animated Across the Spider-Verse is easily one of the best Spider-Man movies ever made, and one of the best movies released this year. So it must be a Best Picture contender, right?
