Among this year’s most regrettable oversights, the Academy has disqualified Sonic 3 from contention for the Best Picture category at the 2025 Oscars.
2024 was an outstanding year for cinema, featuring blockbusters such as “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” and “Dune Part 2,” along with surprise hits like “The Substance” and “Nosferatu.” To honor this medium, the Oscars will be broadcast on March 2, 2025.
The preparations are in full swing for the 97th yearly event, and decisions are being made about which movies, performers, and teams should receive recognition. As part of this process, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has published a list of films that, although eligible for other categories, have been omitted from the Best Picture category.
From the impressive total of 323 films eligible for Oscar nomination, a significant number of 116 are ruled out for Best Picture contention as per reports from The Wrap. Among those left behind, one noteworthy movie catches our attention – none other than Sonic 3.
Sonic 3 fans heartbroken over Oscars snub
Fans of Sonic, known as the Blue Blur, have expressed anger after learning that Sonic 3 was not chosen for Best Picture. Cinephiles who admire the third film in the Sonic series have criticized the choice on various social platforms.
Some suggest that the Academy might fear Sonic and his companions could dominate the ceremony. One user humorously speculated that Sonic 3 was disqualified since its creators didn’t put themselves forward for consideration in the Best Picture category. This is presumed to be an unbalanced situation, as everyone acknowledges that Sonic 3 would likely win over the other films.
Although some comments about it are light-hearted, there are genuine fans disappointed that films such as Disney’s Mufasa were chosen over Sonic 3. “Seriously now, this should win an award for its special effects,” one commenter suggested. “In all honesty, even if you don’t appreciate these movies, you have to acknowledge that they look great.
The reason Sonic 3 is unlikely to be considered for Best Picture seems to be due to its release date on December 20, 2024. According to regulations, films must premiere in at least one of six major American cities before they can be nominated. Unfortunately, it looks like Sonic 3 didn’t meet the deadline.
Fear not! Even if the movie isn’t up for Best Picture, there are plenty of other accolades it can win. Regarding Keanu Reeves, he remains a strong contender for Best Actor due to his exceptional portrayal of Shadow the Hedgehog.
