Last year Sony and Marvel studios produced a brilliant animated superhero flick revolving around the fan-favorite MCU character Spidey.Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Versedirected by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson was in the hype as fans were certain that the movie would hold the Golden Statue at the 2024 Oscars.
However, legendary Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki was in the contest and fought the hard battle and the voters eventually favored Miyazaki’s 2023 masterpieceThe Boy and the Heron. However, the actor and musician, Shameik Moore was not happy with theSpider-Versesnub.
Shameik Moore Was Unhappy Losing The Best Animated FeatureTo The Boy and the Heron
Shameik Moorewho voiced Miles Morales inSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Versehad a hard time losing the Best Animated Feature toHayao Miyazaki’sThe Boy and the Heron.The actor made a harsh remark alleging the Oscars of robbing the statue from theSpider-Versemovie. In two posts onX(one is the corrected version of a spelling error rectifying it with an asterisk), the actor claimed that the Oscar war“*robbed”from his movie. In another post onX, he wrote:
“Respect to the winners. It’s true, I’m definitely a sore loser, but we didn’t lose, Spiderverse has impacted ALOT of lives, we may not have been acknowledged tonight but life goes on, and BEYOND….. yea get ready.”
Moore was almost certain of the win ofSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseand certainly, it was one of the best MCU movies Sony has produced. Fans and critics hailed the movie as it went on to gross over $690.9 million at the global box office.
Fans Are Upset With Shameik Moore’s Distasteful Remark
Hard battle! But fans dubbed Moore’s comment as distasteful for all the good reasons. There are ample reasons to celebrate Moore’sSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseas it stood high above the ground with its fellow nominees but the contest with Miyazaki’sThe Boy and the Heronwas tough and the legendary director was with the win. While several fans applauded for theSpider-Versemovie, most were disgusted seeing Moore’s poor response to his loss.
No respect for the competition is toxic. Clearly doesn’t watch other movies.

Spider-verse is cool and all with its digital effects but the boy in heron is just simple, classic style and doesn’t rely on flashy effect to make a good story

Denial, just accept that Miyazaki is a legend, you got bested by a superior film… Move on
