Endgame for Special Oscars Honor

The Academy Awards has always had a strange relationship with comic book movies. The likes of Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix have taken home Oscars for their portrayals of the Joker in The Dark Knight and Joker, respectively, but many fans of the fantastic have felt superhero projects are not given fair consideration at these big awards shows.

Things for these larger-than-life projects have taken a turn for the better in recent years. Black Panther and Logan broke the mold in the categories Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay in consecutive years, and the aforementioned Joker scored an insurmountable 11 total nominations in 2020.

The Flash Runs Laps Around Marvel

While this recognition does not come with an official accolade, the power of the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement cannot be understated.

Even a year removed from Zack Snyder's Justice League being released on HBO Max, the four-hour film still holds big real estate on social platforms. Topping Avengers: Endgame is impressive on its own, but defeating the still very fresh Spider-Man: No Way Home only amplifies what this fanbase is capable of.

The DC Extended Universe is moving forward without Zack Snyder, but Ezra Miller's Barry Allen remains a big part of Warner Bros.' vision. Miller gets his long-awaited standalone project in June 2023 with The Flash, a film that is expected to reshape the very fabric of the DCEU. The Flash's marketing campaign is months away from getting started, but reminding a film fanatic Oscars audience of just how popular the scarlet speedster is never hurts.
