As with all major awards shows, there’s always going to be winners and losers. Only one film can be crowned Best Picture at each year’s Oscars event, with the rest simply left to appreciate their nomination.
For some, it’s easier to accept the shortcoming than others. Having been nominated for best Animated Feature at this year’s awards,Across the Spider-Verseultimately fell short, losing to out toStudio Ghibli’s The Boy and the Heron.
Not everyone took this news laying down, however. The man behind the voice of series protagonistMiles Morales, Shameik Moore, quickly took to Twitter to express his displeasure.
“Respect to the winners,” he later followed up after receiving some backlash on social media. “It’s true, I’m definitely a sore loser.”
“We may not have been acknowledged tonight but life goes on, and beyond. Get ready,” he concluded, teasing the final chapter of the ongoing story.
“Honestly, the whole Spider-Verse team are such good sports,” he later followed up once more. “Very professional and I’m excited to see what comes of this. I’m young and a fighter, so forgive my nature. Congrats to the winners.”
