I'm not a fan of learning movies that won an Oscar award so I have no idea Scifi movies can win awards. Similar movies I've watched was Prometheus and its sequel Alien Covenant which I guess can be compared as well.
Yeah why not, there's no genre restriction when it comes to Best Picture, it's just that sci-fi movie never won an Oscar in that category yet, not even arguably the best scifi movie of all time, 2001: A Space Oddysey ( as a matter of fact didn't even get nominated in that category )
Read some of the picks from users where do you bet for these awards?
