Why not??... it was a cultural phenomenon. A huge box office hit. A critically acclaimed movie. Endgame is now ingrained in pop culture forever.

If a fantasy movie like lord of the rings can win a oscar for best picture and director, why not endgame?

The competition this year was a lot stronger than it was in 2003. Robert Downey, Jr. opted not to campaign for Best Leading Actor and he wouldn't made the cut anyway since he had strong competition against Adam Driver, Joaquin Phoenix, Leonardo DiCaprio, and etc.

No, not really , I thought you DCEU Dick ryders didn't care about Oscar? at least that's what you said last year with Black Panther, joker was still over rated, good but over rated, End Game, epic , higher rated aswell , that there makes it game set championship, now take your tears and go

No, more like the AMPAS gave their pity fuck to BP.

Usually they'll hold back on awards until a series of films is done, and they certainly arent going to give a lot of awards to anything based on comic books. But I suppose they had to acknowledge Excellence in the Art of Making Money, and normally they'd give that to the last film in a series. But they broke the pattern and gave a couple of nods to BP, and they're going to keep it at that.

If we look at the nomination tally for the three previous films in the series, we have a list of two, both in this category. Even seemingly very achievable mentions for sound or production design have come to nothing. It is very clear that the Academy doesn’t care about The Avengers.

The talk has given me flashbacks to when many folks, driven by wishful thinking, seemed to think that the last Harry Potter movie had a chance of a Best Picture nomination, even though it was quite obvious that Oscar voters were not fans of the series.

So what makes movie a “Best Picture” nomination then? Did Endgame not get nominated because it wasn’t “artsy” enough or didn’t contain melodrama?

I’m really confused because the movie was universally praised by critics and audiences. If blockbusters like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Lord of the Rings can get Oscar noms for Best Pic, surely this.

If you are, as you claim, fearless, why do you need external validation? Why do you care if anyone else shares your enthusiasm?
