Popular A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio (Titanic, The Great Gatsby, The Wolf of Wall Street, Catch Me If You Can), for example, was nominated for seven Oscars over the course of over a decade before he finally took home his first — and only — Academy Award trophy for Best Actor (Motion Picture Drama) for his work in The Revenant (2016).

Marvel Cinematic Universe star Tom Holland (Peter Parker/Spider-Man), however, thinks he may have cracked the code to adding an Oscar to his own movie memorabilia collection with the hugely successful Spider-Man: No Way Home, which finally hit theaters on December 17, 2021.

The movie has had an incredible box office opening worldwide, even leading to the biggest opening night ever for movie theater giant, Cinemark.
