After 2 Prior Snubs, Hugh Jackman Could Finally Get Justice Thanks to ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’
- Having made his breakthrough with his role as Wolverine, Hugh Jackman is one of the acclaimed actors in Hollywood.
- Jackman might finally win an Academy Award after being robbed off nominations for at least 2 films so far.
- Deadpool & Wolverine is submitted for the newest category at the Golden Globes Awards.
Australian actor Hugh Jackman is a face that receives the utmost respect from almost every cinema fan. Jackman went worldwide with his superhero character, Wolverine. Even if the role is kept aside, he has also done an excellent job in movies like Real Steel, Prisoners, Les Misérables, and The Prestige.
The 55-year-old actor has a Primetime Emmy Award, a Grammy Award, and two Tony Awards. Unfortunately, his most iconic character is yet to bring him the appreciation that he deserves. However, Deadpool & Wolverine is well on its way to providing the glory that the actor has been worthy of for years.
Hugh Jackman Might Finally Win an Academy Award
Despite having been in the industry for decades and giving some of the most memorable performances, Hugh Jackman has yet to win his first Oscar. He has a Guinness World Record for playing the clawed X-Man for 17 years, but not an Oscar.
Not just Wolverine, Jackman also didn’t get the deserving appreciation for his role as Keller Dover in Denis Villeneue’s 2013 crime movie, Prisoners. Many fans over the web share similar empathy for Jackman. In fact, an industry insider has also claimed that the actor deserved recognition for his performance in Logan.
This shows fans at least wanted the panel to recognize and acknowledge Jackman’s brilliance regardless of whether or not he wins. However, tables might turn as according to Variety, the actor has been pitched for Best Supporting Actor in the upcoming Academy Award ceremony for Deadpool & Wolverine. The decision has fans rooting for him.
In fact, Jackman’s name is being submitted for Best Supporting Actor across all key awards shows, including the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Critics Choice. So, fans can stay assured that he might end up taking at least one of these major awards.
Deadpool & Wolverine Is Set To Be Featured In Golden Globes’ Recently Introduced Category
After becoming a blockbuster hit, Shawn Levy’s Deadpool & Wolverine is now aiming to make it big in terms of accolades. The 2024 action-comedy movie almost has a guaranteed spot in the Golden Globes’ recently-introduced Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category.
The category was introduced the previous year to celebrate the year’s most critically acclaimed and highest-grossing films. Barbie won the category last year and Deadpool & Wolverine is a fine contender this year. After all, the movie has already met the requirement of this prize by surpassing the mark of $150 million.
Apart from this, the movie might also aim to achieve nominations in technical categories such as production design, sound, and visual effects at the Oscars. There’s no doubt that Deadpool & Wolverine is slowly setting an example for upcoming superhero movies.
