I don't think it needs to be an original story. Plot is only one part of a movie. Are you going to discount Oppenheimer or Jurassic Park just because they aren't original plots?
Both of those are examples of original movies. They’re not some movie franchise that is going to have a guaranteed audience because of some previous film.
The original Spielberg Jurassic Park was innovative and a great overall movie. Same w/ Oppenheimer
@mophead909.bsky.social was talking about how Best Picture should be an original story, but both those movies are adaptations.
Maybe a better point would be The Godfather 2, Shrek 2, Blade Runner 2049, or Paddington 2 in terms of "Great, in a series"
I'm not dunking on them to be clear, JP is my #1
Godfather 2 isn’t really a sequel the same as most other movies that come out after an original. It is new plot but rather just the second part of the first movie.
I give exceptions to movies like that. Another being LOTR 1-3.

But, it’s science fiction/fantasy… good luck with that.
Neither will win. They nominate films like this so the masses even pay attention.
If it was a bunch of films they didn’t know, they wouldn’t watch the Oscars
