For at least some of you 10,000 or so Academy Awards voters, its not too late.
It would be like the old days, when theOscarswere something to talk about.
This isnt pure fantasy.

(The Critics Choice Awards went original, withEverything Everywhere All at Oncetaking the top prizeon Sunday.)
Still, one can dream.
This year,Top Gun: MaverickandGlass Onioncould do it together.

Best of all, the years worthy sequels are all very different.
A caper, a tribal epic, a military adventure, a 3D space culture war.
There would be lots to chatter about.
Its not too late.
