Shameik Moore Says “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse” Got Robbed At Oscars

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

The 96th Academy Awards ceremony occurred on Sunday (March 10) in Los Angeles. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse losing in the Best Animated Feature category did not sit well with the movie’s lead star, Shameik Moore.

2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse starring Shameik Moore won numerous industry awards. The Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey and Rodney Rothman-directed movie took home the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2019.

After Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor-Joy announced The Boy and the Heron as the 2024 Best Animated Feature winner, Shameik Moore shared his reaction on X.

The 28-year-old actor simply tweeted, “Robbed.” That post has collected over 4,000 likes and 340 replies on the social media platform. He originally misspelled “robed” before correcting himself.

Around 30 minutes later, Shameik Moore returned to X to add, “Respect to the winners. It’s true, I’m definitely a sore loser, but we didn’t lose, Spider-Verse has impacted A LOT of lives, we may not have been acknowledged tonight but life goes on, and BEYOND….. yea get ready.”

Another X user called out Moore for not being more congratulatory to legendary The Boy and the Heron filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki like Across the Spider-Verse writer/producer Christopher Miller.

“[You’re] right, honestly the whole Spider-Verse team are such good sports. 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,” Moore wrote in response.
