Spider-Man: Brand New Day to Be Submitted for Oscars in Every Possible Category

Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman says the studio will campaign for its blockbuster “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” in the Best Picture race and other Oscar categories.

“The Academy was created to recognize greatness. I think this is it. That’s the consensus. If people aren’t thinking about it, we’ll do everything we can to make them. […] Are you telling me there are 10 films this year that are better than this one?”

Rothman told Deadline.

“Brand New Day” opened in late July and has since earned more than $2.5 billion worldwide, making it the third-highest-grossing film in history, behind only “Avengers: Endgame” and “Avatar.” It also became the highest-grossing film ever in the United States, with $959 million, surpassing “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

In the fourth installment of the franchise, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) faces a powerful new enemy. The cast also includes Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo and others. Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang-Chi”) directed the film.

The 99th Academy Awards will take place on March 14, 2027. The nominees will be announced in January.
