‘Army of the Dead’ Defeats ‘Cinderella,’ ‘Spider-Man,’ & More For Oscars’ First-Ever ‘Fan Favorite’ Award

In an era of award shows of every kind watching their ratings tumble to historic lows, the Academy Awards announced the inaugural “fan-favorite” award as a mean to turn the tide and increase engagement.

Relying on audiences to vote on their favorite movie of 2021, fans of the year’s most talked about motion pictures took to Twitter in droves to ensure their fave was unveiled as the first winner of the honor.

Upon its announcement, Amazon’s Camila Cabello-led ‘Cinderella’ was leading the race to the Oscar finish line (as we reported here).  By voting’s close on March 3, however, a new frontrunner had emerged.

Report:

“Zack Snyder’s zombie action movie “Army of the Dead” won the fan-favorite Oscar, a brand new category, during Sunday night’s award show. Snyder also took home the new “Oscars Cheer Moment” award for “Zack Snyder’s Justice League.”

In fifth place was “Tick, Tick … Boom,” followed by “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in fourth, Johnny Depp’s “Minamata” in third and “Cinderella” starring Camila Cabello in second place.”

*****

Snyder’s flick wasn’t the only winner related to the new category.

Three lucky Twitter users who voted will be selected for an all-expense-paid trip to Los Angeles to present an Oscar at next year’s ceremony. What’s more, five additional people will also receive tickets to a full year of free movies in a theater of their choice, exclusive items from the Academy Museum Store, and more!
