‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Deserved an Oscar Nomination on the Recent Shortlist

Generally, Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films haven’t been major players at the Oscars, with Black Panther being a notable exception. It’s often said that big budgets are meant to support quality, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps seemed poised to finally earn some recognition. While it wasn’t expected to win major awards like Best Picture or acting accolades, the film was technically impressive. However, it surprisingly received no nominations in categories where it deserved consideration, particularly for its score. Meanwhile, despite receiving negative reviews, Captain America: Brave New World is surprisingly in contention for an award.
