According to Radar Online, Oasis' upcoming reunion documentary is reportedly being discussed as a potential awards contender following positive reactions from industry insiders.
One source said, "For years, Oasis were viewed in the US as this hugely influential British phenomenon that never quite translated into the kind of all-American commercial dominance they enjoyed back home. They had the acclaim, the attitude and the cultural impact, but they were never really embraced by mainstream America on the level people expected at the time.
"That is why there's real surprise around the idea of the band suddenly becoming part of the Oscars conversation. Nobody involved thought this project would evolve into something with genuine awards potential. But once executives saw the footage, especially the emotional intensity between Noel and Liam, opinions changed very quickly.

"The film is far more than a standard music documentary. It's raw, emotional and unexpectedly intimate. Even people who were never Oasis fans have been completely drawn in by the story."
Another insider added, "What Oasis have pulled off is being viewed as one of the most extraordinary comeback stories in modern music. There is a feeling that the reunion has gone far beyond nostalgia and turned into a genuine cultural moment, which is why people are suddenly talking seriously about awards season and even the possibility of an Oscars run.
"Disney believes the film has commercial appeal because there is massive public curiosity around Noel and Liam finally reuniting after all these years. But beyond the box office expectations, there's also a growing belief that the documentary has the emotional depth and cinematic quality to compete critically as well."
The source continued, "The truly remarkable thing is that cameras were there to capture these deeply personal moments as they happened in real time. Usually, reunions like this take place entirely behind closed doors, so to have the tension, the awkwardness and eventually the warmth between the brothers documented on film is incredibly rare.
"There's a sense that audiences will feel like they are witnessing music history unfolding from the inside. For Noel and Liam, it also creates an opportunity to mark the reunion in a way that is far bigger and more lasting than simply announcing another tour or album. This film turns the comeback into something almost mythic."
