Although I would say it probably should be. If the ending was stronger and didn't end in typical Marvel movie fashion, the case would be better. It might not even with most popular, possibly losing to Crazy Rich Asians (who even knows what the criteria is? what a freaking joke of a category!)

To what are you referring? The Academy has scrapped the proposed new "Achievement in Popular Film" category and it's a fairly weak year for Best Picture nominees. I think Black Panther could still get a Best Picture nomination (although it won't win). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 What is the definition of the "Best Picture" award? Like, the Hart Trophy is presented to the player deemed most valuable to his team (by the Writer's Association). Is "Best Picture" for 'Best Film'? I thought it was for something like 'Best Visual Story'? Idk. Black Panther is a great movie, but it's not the best of 2018. Visually, story, or otherwise. Obviously IMO.

Obviously IMO. I would not call it a great movie. A solid Marvel movie, okay, but it did not live up to the hype when I finally saw it. Now if you want to call it the most socially important Marvel film to date, definitely. Take out the social context, which was Disneyfied and toned down anyway, and it was an okay hero movie. It was a middling Marvel movie, on par with stuff like Captain Marvel 1, Thor 1 or Thor Dark World from an enjoyment and watchability perspective IMHO. Maybe my expectations were too high? I still don't care for the actor that plays T'Challa (too wooden/stiff), and found Killmonger to be one dimensional with a so-so acting job as well. The female leads were far more interesting, but maybe that was the angle Disney was looking for? Edited November 15, 2018 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suffers from typical hero tropes like the ol' fake death routine, villain has the same power/suit, etc. It's still well-directed, acted, and culturally accurate. It's earns its stripes.

Black Panther Best Pic Nomination & Into the Spider-Verse Best Animated Pic Nomination - the super hero genre has had an unbelievable 2018 I'm glad Black Panther is on the list and hope it gets nominated (but don't think it will) , but my top two snubs: Annihilation (sci-fi) and Sorry to Bother You (more sci-fi than you think, but understandably too esoteric to be nominated, but Shape of Water won best picture last year). I hope Quiet Place or Green Book win Best Picture. I certainly haven't seen all the movies on the list, but I feel "A Star is Born" is kind of overrated, though I was thoroughly impressed with Bradley Cooper as a director.

Gatsby77 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I absolutely think Black Panther will get a Best Picture nomination. The Academy has learned its lesson from the omission of The Dark Knight a decade ago and trying to subvert the process by attempting -- and failing -- to add a "Best Popular Film" category this year. With up to 10 Best Picture noms (although I don't believe they've ever had more than nine), Black Panther will be among them. I'm still rooting for A Star Is Born to win -- although I think Roma may ultimately win instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
