With two weeks to go until the start of Oscar nomination voting, Academy members who don’t want to leave the house can finally watch 2021’s biggest blockbuster. “Spider-Man: No Way Home,”On Friday, the unquestionable box office phenomenon of the last pandemic was displayed in the Academy Screening Room, where voters could view the film. “Black Panther”From the pages of Marvel Comics to our list of Best Picture nominees.
To be eligible for Oscars, films do not have to be present in the screening room. The placement in the main screening area is not guaranteed, unlike the members-only online screening rooms for short films, animation, documentary, and international. Voters have other options to view the films in competition for Best Picture nominations.
However, theatergoing was made more risky for many of our members by the Omicron variant. “Spider-Man”The film was conspicuously absent from the platform, despite all its major rivals having appeared there. The film’s absence caused some voters and Oscar watchers to wonder if Sony was really committed to a Best Picture campaign, even as the Jon Watts superhero adventure became the year’s highest-grossing film and the eighth-biggest movie ever.
The film recently failed to qualify for the British Academy Film Awards when it wasn’t made available to BAFTA voters on that organization’s online screening platform, BAFTA View.
The Academy was paid $12,500 by the company. AMPAS had been preparing the film for its screening rooms, where it was uploaded just before 9 a.m. PST Friday. There, “Spider-Man: No Way Home”It was the 157th film to try and attract Oscar voters’ attention. (See the complete list below.
Academy members now have access to nearly all of the top film award contenders, even before the nomination voting begins Jan. 27.
At this point, the highest-profile film not available is probably Julia Ducournau’s twisted Palme d’Or winner “Titane,”Although it received praises for its Cannes Film Festival debut, the film failed to make the Oscars Best International Feature Film shortlist. (It was available to voters in that category’s screening room.)
And while Denzel Washington is a likely Best Actor nominee for his performance in Joel Coen’s “The Tragedy of Macbeth,”He is directing the film 2021, which is shown in the screening room. “A Journal for Jordan,”The platform does not have it. Neither, at this point, is Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s acclaimed “Memoria,” another international entry that didn’t make the shortlist; Gotham Awards’ Best Feature nominees “Test Pattern”And “Shiva Baby”Nominees for Film Independent Spirit Awards “A Chiara,” “Petit Maman” or Todd Stephens’ “Swan Song”(though the Other2021 Film with this title, an Apple release directed and starring Mahershala Al, It isIn the room
But even though their makers would no doubt prefer to have Academy members watch the films on a big screen rather than in their homes, big films like “Dune,” “West Side Story,” “Nightmare Alley”And “No Time to Die”These films are available to voters alongside dozens of animated, documentary and international films.
Here’s the list of the films that were available in the Academy Screening Room as of Friday morning. This list does not include the Best Picture list. The Academy will release the list prior to the beginning of nomination voting. The Oscars screening room is not required to pay for films that meet eligibility requirements.
