While some films , includingDune , overlap , the disconnect between The Academy and audiences appear to grow each class . The Fan Favorite Award may be a chance to do work towards closing   this gap by recognising beloved   action - superhero movies   likeSpider - Man : No Way Homeor   family movies likeSing 2,but interest in the Oscars will become clear when the ceremony airs next calendar month .
