'C’mon!' Smith said. 'Who’s making these choices?'
“What the f---?!” the New Jersey director said. “They got 10 slots. They can’t give one to the biggest f---ing movie of like the last three years?! And they’re like, ‘Why won’t anyone watch this show?’ . Like, f---ing make a populist choice. F---, man. Like, you got how many slots? Throw in ‘Spider Man’ for God’s sakes. Let him swing in there. The f---ing poor kid’s always getting crapped on and sh-t. Show Peter Parker some f---ing love.
“I’m not even being facetious,” Smith continued. “With as many movies as they now nominate for best picture — used to be, what, five? Most of my f---ing whole life it was five and now it’s like 10. ‘Spider Man: No Way Home’ wasn’t one of the 10 best movies of the year? C’mon. C’mon! Who’s making these choices?”“Aren’t you one of those people who makes those choices?” Bernardin replied.
“I am in the Academy,” Smith said, laughing. “But apparently I’m not a big enough voice to make f---ing change, man. I was shocked that they didn’t throw on Spider-Man’s web, man. I was like, come on, man. Come on. No. 1, great movie. No. 2, would you like anyone to tune into this program? Like, did you learn nothing from last year?”
