Spoiler Alert: Nobody's gonna watch the Oscars next year, either.
So again, "brainchild of a simpleton".
Giving Spider-Man "Best Picture" would get them ALL of the chatter and zero of the "Was this fake/What a bunch of assholes" controversy.
This is some "George Bush Did 9/11" level stuff, right here. In that the conspiracy only works if everyone involved in said conspiracy is a Literal Retard. And also, in either case, in the end nothing of value was gained and in fact much was lost.
I mean anything's possible. But I doubt a bunch of crusty old white dudes such as the Academy actually subscribe to the "No such thing as Bad Publicity as long as we get people talking" idea, when the simplest way to "get people talking" would simply be to acknowledge movies people have actually seen or heard of.
"We won't do THAT, but we'll have two black guys have a slap fight on live TV." Like, really?
I'm not saying they aren't stupid. I am saying, they'd have to be stupid to set such a thing up and even stupider to think they'd gain anything of value from doing so. And they might be. They definitely might be.
Either way, joke's on them, nobody's gonna watch next year either. So they can jump on the MCU gravy train like the rest of Hollywood or they can go extinct. Ball's in their court. Sh*t Like This, staged or not, isn't gonna get them what they want.
