Welcome to yet another edition of the Culture Crave newsletter. We’re taking a look at the Oscars tonight, what’s next for the MCU, and more 🍿

The Oscars are happening tonight 🏆

Ten films are nominated for Best Picture

Here are the previous twenty Best Picture winners:

Hoyte Van Hoyte is shooting Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey

It’s their fifth collaboration in a row together

Hoyte Van Hoyte has been spotted in set videos. A fan also shot a video from a distance of a major night time battle happening. Fans speculate this could serve as a prologue, depicting Odysseus’ role in the Trojan War before his decade-long journey home. Given previous leaks showing a Trojan horse, this is likely the Sack of Troy as described in The Iliad.

China’s Ne Zha 2 continues to climb at the worldwide box office

By you the you read this, it may become the first animated film to ever hit $2B 💰

Kathleen Kennedy says she’s not retiring and discussed some upcoming Star Wars projects

Updated status on films based on her new comments

Major alleged Avengers: Doomsday concept art leaks

Marvel concept artist Mushk Rizvi has seemingly accidentally posted a ton of art for Doomsday, Fantastic Four, and the Vision series. They were uploaded on her ArtStation and quickly deleted, but it was too late. I won’t break down everything in this newsletter because there is a lot and you can find them everywhere, but I will say the Doctor Doom design is looking extremely comic-accurate, and I’m very interested in seeing Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance(s) in this movie.
