The Spider-Man: No Way Home Oscar nominations have been revealed and they’re not as numerous as many Marvel fans were hoping for. Despite the latest Spider-Man movie being insanely successful and popular it hasn’t troubled the Academy Award Best Picture nominations — in fact, the only two Marvel Oscar nominations have both No Way Home and Shang-Chi up for the same award, whereas the Dune Oscar nominations make it seem like the sci-fi epic is going to run away with it this year.
What Spider-Man: No Way Home Oscar nominations were there?
Spider-Man: No Way Home has received only one Oscar nomination, despite fan efforts to get it nominated for Best Picture. The new Spider-Man movie is a nominee for Best Visual Effects, which it shares with sci-fi epic Dune, fellow Marvel movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, James Bond movie No Time To Die, and much-delayed Ryan Reynolds video game parody Free Guy.
The full set of Oscar nominations can be read here. Spider-Man and Shang-Chi are the only comic book movies to get any nominations this year, meaning the likes of The Suicide Squad and Eternals have both been snubbed. Other movies not to receive any nominations include The Matrix Resurrections and Ghostbusters Afterlife. Dune, on the other hand, is currently up for an impressive ten major Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Visual Effects — the same award as Spider-Man: No Way Home and Shang-Chi. However, it is interesting to note that director Denis Villeneuve is not a nominee for Best Director.

It’s possible that Spider-Man 4 will have more luck when that comes out, but considering the massive amount of hype No Way Home built up, it seems unlikely. In more movie news, it’s looking like a Black Adam trailer might debut at the Super Bowl this weekend, and Temuera Morrison wants to fight Samuel L. Jackson in The Book of Boba Fett Season 2.
