I don't get the love for Black Panther. Unpopular opinion: it wasn't that good of a movie. It's not in the top 5 MCU movies for me, much less "best picture" worthy. I feel like the academy just put it in just to appease the "all ages" group. As if younger people / people who don't usually watch the Oscars, will tune in just because BP was nominated. Also, I feel like Into the Spiderverse should have gotten a best picture nominee. It was that good.
agreed, but i think the majority of the best picture candidates are **** (like every year), so maybe I have bad movie taste.
It wasn't that good. It was another rock solid marvel entry, probably in the top half, but certainly not the best. Hell it wasn't even the best Marvel movie this year. For as much as I love the MCU as a whole, I don't think any of their movies are even close to best picture worthy. For the most part I've kinda shrugged off the excess hype because I understand how important a movie it was for a lot of people. But with all of the truly great superhero/sci-fi movies that have been ignored by the academy, Black Panther getting this many nominations kind off pisses me off.
Agreed. I thought Black Panther was one of the worst Marvel flicks I’ve seen. Disappointed to see that Thom York didn’t get a nomination for original song.
This is probably not all that uncommon, but is Black Pather the first nominated movie to not have any other nominations for Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor/Actress, Director, or Writer awards. lulz I guess if you like a popular genre that routinely gets ignored by Oscars (like Comedy, and Horror pre-Exorcist??), having one of your genre break-through to get nominated helps future nominations, which could actually draw more talent into making them, take more risks with content -- raise the boat??? So instead of saying Dark Knight didn't get nominated, so this shouldn't; I'm more on the side that says, this is progress.
Good movie, fun movie. Acting was JUST alright. The villain was bad, Whitaker was laughable in his role (just like his Star Wars role.) Really good comic movie that is elevated in status because of what it represents to a lot of people.
It checks diversity boxes and prevents people from attacking the Oscars calling them racist. When it comes to the MCU, it was a mediocre at best film, a better movie in the MCU came out 3 months before it and a MUCH better movie in the MCU came out just 2 months later.
I wish I could comment on how "Black Panther" was. I really wanted to give it a chance but I had to turn it off it was so bad imo. I'm not particularly impressed with this line-up of films and actors. Other than kind of rooting for the Queen actor/flick and "Free Solo", I don't care for anything else nor do I care who wins. I think "Roma" is a lock for best picture, though (Queen flick is the dark horse here). I haven't seen it but it's just the buzz around it. Best actor is between Bale and Malek. I'd probably go with Malek. Gaga is a lock for best actress...albeit I find her annoying so far in the awards shows and will pass on her acceptance speech. I only wish there was an award that could go to the guy that did the free solo because he deserves one. I may watch the opening just to see how they handle this host BS but, other than that, I'm not watching for this line-up.
Maybe when they decided against a Best Popular Movie category, voters snuck in this film. Underwhelmed.
Yeah, that's obvious. I mean, when's the last time a Best Picture nom didn't have any other nominations in the other major categories (actor, actress, director) and categories like screenplay and cinematography?
Looking at the insane hatred of Black Panther . . . is amusing I guess Best Picture has to be some pretentious elitist dribble I know it won't win . . . but we know why . . . . don't matter. . . still better than most movies Rocket River
As someone that generally does not like any marvel movies, I thought black black panther was the only one I’ve ever seen with any merit. I don’t think it’s best picture quality but if any superhero movie was ever gonna be noninated, this was the only choice
