Sci-fi threequels don't win Best Picture, period. The Academy will nominate it for every technical award but ultimately hand the top prize to a predictable indie drama.
Yeah, and sequel fatigue hurts too. Even if it’s brilliant, voters may see it as “more franchise” instead of a standalone statement.
No. I agree, and add that a sci fi threequel can win when it tells a human story with bold design and breakthrough tech, not just spectacle.
No. I disagree; sci fi can carry the revolution of the heart just as indie dramas do. Let the prize honor art that feels alive, not safe.
