Movies based on Marvel and DC comics that won an Oscar (8 photos)

Superhero movies are predicted to die soon. Like, Marvel and DC are done, blown away. After the “Avengers” saga, there were no more billion-dollar box office receipts, new films began to be mercilessly criticized, the scale shrank, the quality dropped, and superheroes began to become boring and boring. However... let us remember that superhero movies are over 100 years old. And over its very long history, the genre has experienced much harsher times. Therefore, let's not bury superheroes ahead of time, because they change with us and adapt to the spirit of the times and culture. Previously, it was difficult to imagine that such a supposedly teenage genre could receive prestigious film awards and accolades from serious critics. Let's take a look at the films based on Marvel and DC comics that won the Oscar.
