Nicolas Cage is adding another superhero role to his resume with his appearance as Ben Reilly in Spider-Noir.

The Academy Award for Best Original Score hasn’t been divided into separate categories since 1999, and it’s unlikely to happen again. Film scores have become a respected art form, and many composers are now widely recognized. A truly great score can significantly enhance a movie, and those films often produce the most memorable Oscar wins.
As a lifelong movie lover, I’ve always been fascinated by the Oscars, but looking back at Best Picture winners, it’s striking how many haven’t really lasted. They feel like they were the right movie for the right moment, instead of true cinematic masterpieces.

It makes you wonder: is the Best Picture category fundamentally flawed, and if it is, how do we actually fix it?
