I'm watching Swan Song btw. It's amazing. I can't get over how much I love this.

I used to watch the Oscars. Typically, I had actually seen 2 or 3 of the nominated films. But I rarely go to the movies now and I’ve almost never heard of the nominees.

I would make the case that The Oscars need Spider-Man more than Spider-Man needs The Oscars. Nominating a film that people a) saw and b) really liked would maybe help the telecast crack $10 million this year.

Also, I like The Oscars and have watched every ceremony since 1998 when Titanic won. Still, let's be honest about what they are - at best they are a celebration of movies and at worst they are a celebration of the PR firms that ran the campaigns. Which, I'm fine with because whatever.

I honestly don't even really think it matters that much if NWH gets a bunch of noms; I'm not convinced anyone will watch anyway, given the general trend on these things.
