Shameik Moore, who voiced Miles Morales in the Oscar-nominated animated film, apologized after expressing his frustration on X, formerly Twitter, at the film's loss to 'The Boy and the Heron' for Best Animated Feature.

Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse star Shameik Moore apologized for being a "sore loser" after his reaction to the film's Oscar loss on social media drew criticism from fans.

Moore, who voiced Miles Morales in the animated film, took to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday evening after The Boy and the Heron beat out Spiderman, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.


He first tweeted:

"Robed"

He then corrected the tweet, following up with:

"*robbed"

People on social media immediately called out Moore for his reaction to the loss.

Within half an hour, Moore took to the social media platform once again, this time to apologize for being a "sore loser."

He wrote:

"Respect to the winners."
"It’s true, I’m definitely a sore loser, but we didn’t lose, Spiderverse has impacted ALOT of lives, we may not have been acknowledged tonight but life goes on, and BEYOND….. yea get ready 😤"


After another fan who called him out by sharing producer Christopher Miller's classy reaction to the Oscar loss, Moore acknowledged his unprofessionalism and sought "forgiveness" for his reaction.

"Your right, honestly the whole Spiderverse team are such good sports."
"Very professional and I’m excited to see what comes of this. I’m young, and a fighter, so forgive my nature."
"Congrats to the winners"

People on social media appreciated Moore's apology, but many were quick to point out that The Boy and the Heron deserved all the accolades it's received thus far.




Others noted that just because Spider-Man didn't win the Oscar doesn't mean it didn't make an impact.


While Across the Spiderverse may have not won the Oscar, they definitely won at the box office, raking in nearly $690 million worldwide.

Congrats on all the success!

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.
