Zack Snyder's 'Army of the Dead' wins an Oscar! 

There were a few surprises and snubs at the 94th Oscar, but Zack Snyder's wins fit neither of the categories. The filmmaker's 2021 zombie heist film Army of the Dead was endowed with the fan-favorite Oscar win. The film, a spiritual successor to Zack's Dawn of Dead, was up against some megahits like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Cinderella, The Power of the Dog, Tick, Tick… Boom! and Minamata.

The film wasn't presented with an actual Oscar, as the category isn't official, and the triumph was only based on votes cast on Twitter. Another unofficial category that Academy introduced to boost the audience's dwindling interest in Oscar was the "Most cheer-worthy moment." To non-Snyder's fans, the result was no less than a shock as Zack's Justice League took away that title by beating the most anticipated Spider-Man: No Way Home.

A slew of blockbuster hits later, Snyder experienced his first poorly received film. Man of Steel premiered on March 25, 2013, and was a commercial success with box office earnings of $668 million but poor reviews. Snyder's follow-ups film, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, was no different. Even though hit by mixed reviews, the Ben Affleck starrer raked a whopping $873.6 million worldwide. In 2020, Snyder was announced as the director of the most anticipated superhero film Justice League.

The filmmaker/producer had started working on the project when a personal tragedy struck his life when his daughter, Autumn Snyder, tragically died, propelling him to step down from the project. Zack was fast replaced by director Joss Whedon, whose version of the film didn't live up to fans' anticipation. Following a prolonged campaign and #ReleaseTheSnyderCut crusade, Zack Snyder's Justice League, often called the Syndercut, was released on HBO on March 18, 2021. Zack later revealed he didn't get paid for the project and that the cut was dedicated to his late daughter.
