“The biggest snub today in my opinion, and I’m actually even angry about this, I’m kind of embarrassed to say, is the unforgivable omission ofSpider-Man: No Way Home,” Kimmel is heard saying, followed by cheers from the crowd. Kimmel’s surprise atSpider-Man:No Way Homenot getting one of the ten nominations for best picture quickly turns into a resentful monologue. “Forget that the movie made $750 millions dollars and is still going… there were three Spider-Men in it,” he jokes, and reminds the audience thatone of them was Andrew Garfield, who did score a nomination for his performance in Netflix’stick, tick… Boom!

He believes that the film was nominated based on the fact that it stars big names, like Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep.
