I think it’s less about Scorsese in particular and more about Oscars. They all definitely want the validation of Oscars and only anti-superhero movies can get them. But I think enough win/have won that Holland’s point actually stands.
Unclear to me why the Oscars continue to have such cachet when it’s been clear for decades that it’s a genre of movie rather than a quality band. I don’t actually enjoy Oscar movies in the big categories usually. Barely ever watch them.
