Mayor Ed Lee tells THR that in exchange for its repeated destruction on the big screen, the City by the Bay deserves recognition during awards season. Not only does the Golden Gate bridge get pummeled in San Andreas, the same iconic structure hosts a school bus-centered fight sequence in Terminator Genisys and provides the backdrop for posters and billboards for Pixels. In Pixels, a pacman goliath swallows San Francisco whole. Although Lee says he is OK with the complete destruction of his city on the big screens, he said he would appreciate if the city earned an oscar nomination for its starring role in movies like Star Trek Into Darkness, Pacific Rim and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
