Andrew Garfield Reacts To 4 Spider-Man Alums Getting Oscar Noms
Andrew Garfield reacts to the phenomenon of 4 different Spider-Man stars getting nominated for Oscars this year. The Spider-Man franchise is just coming off the release of its biggest movie yet, the Marvel and Sony co-production Spider-Man: No Way Home. The MCU installment stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker and finds him confronting the multiverse after a botched spell from Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) starts pulling in figures from alternate universes. No Way Home has propelled itself to be the 4th highest-grossing movie of all time with a $749 million domestic total and could pass Avatar in the coming days.

Marvel and Sony even mounted an awards campaign, but the eventual announcement of this year's Oscar hopefuls gave No Way Home only one nom for special effects. At the same time, 4 different actors who have appeared in Spider-Man movies received nominations for other films; 3 of them starred in No Way Home. Those Spider-Man alums are Garfield (for tick, tick… BOOM!), Cumberbatch (The Power of the Dog), J.K. Simmons (Being the Ricardos), and Kirsten Dunst (The Power of the Dog).
