Yes, but it would need to be REALLY good.

I think the key is having a strong, interesting, three-dimensional villain and some sort of relevant story telling.

If Mad Max Fury Road can, I'm pretty sure a CBM can.

mad max is one of the best action films of all time , no CBM is comparable to it except maybe TDK

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow your roll. It definitely ain't that good.

last I heard in 2008 a academy member said when it came to Best movie The Dark Knight was definitely on the conversation..but later got rejected..As per research 80% of academy members are white people with the age of 65 and above so what more can u expect..

Mainstream CBM's will never get pickedup for Best picture atleast for next 20 yrs..Some graphic novel(Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman) may get the chance to get nominated but have to be insanely good like on a Godfather level good...but winning is next to impossible...

No, Birdman made it clear what they think of the genre. As time goes on it will only get less likely.

TDK wasn't nominated for Best Picture. It isn't a popularity contest it's what the Academy elitists think and they are irrelevant.

me?

You made me chuckle while pissed off, if I could I'd give you smiley face sticker. ^_^

Haven´t seen Birdman, what did they say ??

Simply that it's not worthwhile art. The Academy clearly agrees.

Of course those guys never gave Stanley Kubrick Best Director so wtf do they know...

I think BvS or Suicide Squad if done right has a chance , I'm not being a DC fanboy but Marvel has a history of false advertisement in their trailers outside Deadpool , Deadpool might have a chance but everybody in Hollywood hates Rayan Reynolds as an actor lol

Hollywood doesn´t hate Ryan Reynolds, what makes you think that ??

ryan Reynolds is a terrible actor , he literally has ruined ALOT of movies , he is the last person who would be nominated for an award

He´s not, he´s ok, have you seen The Proposal ?? Or his other romance movie co-starring Isla Fisher ??

@thor_parker82: Birdman is about an actor who used to play the superhero Birdman in movies, and now he's struggling to break out of that mold and become a stage actor. He has a terrible relationship with his daughter, his more critically acclaimed co-star constantly shits on him, the pre-opening screenings for his show are disasters, no one takes him seriously as an artist, and he's floridly psychotic and constantly hears the voice of the Birdman character tell him what a washed up loser he is. Then he kills himself at the end. Maybe.

Basically it's a really negative depiction of an ex-superhero actor, starring real life ex-superhero actor Michael Keaton. Whether or not that is a criticism of the superhero genre as a whole is up to the viewer.

Lol dude, telling me the ending was not necessary.....but thank you for taking the time to answer anyway haha.

So true that's why there awards mean less than nothing to me.

Some people are saying that a cbm won't be nominated or that TDK didn't get nominated, because of the members of the academy themselves who are mostly white dudes. But I don't see the point in mentioning this? Wouldn't it make it more realistic or make more sense that TDK would've been nominated then? Lol.

Buried was great, and he was the only onscreen actor in that one-

I made this fan edit months ago, do you guys think it gives an "academy award-esque feel"?

Just Batman and Superman ... no Wonder Woman, no Doomsday and lots of action, just Worlds Finest and an apparently "deeper" plot

It´s just a matter of opinions man, just because you don´t like most of his movies does that mean Hollywood hates him and say it as if it was a fact.

Ben Affleck's Batman movie, it will be nominated at least.
