This was nominated, but Dark Knight was not?

This was nominated, but Split was not?

This was nominated, but Superman was not?


O...k...
To be fair, I think this is a fairly weak year for movies

But once you give Birdman best picture, I think you're sending out the message that Best Picture isnt for superhero movies.

I guess after being trashed for not nominating any black folks a couple of years ago, this is supposed to fix everything. A bit disrespectful if it's only a token gesture. Denzel would not approve.

Which is crazy that they needed a token black film when Blackkklansmen is just that and it was nominated And If Beale Street Could Talk was snubbed. Both are far superior films.

This movie is starting to annoy me.

I just feel everyone has to talk up this all-black movie like it's the best thing ever we most of us know it's not. Not even close.

It's kind of tragic this was the first superhero movie to EVER be nominated for an Oscar; it's not the best SH movie ever (*cough* Dark Knight/Winter Soldier*cough*)

Hell, It's not the best SH movie to come out this year (*cough* infinity war*cough*). I just think this is getting so much hype because people are afraid of being called intolerant if they don't just love it.

Seriously, this got nominated over A Quiet Place or The Death of Stalin for best picture?

This is a one time-rental. Forgetable movie you watch if its on Netflix and you have time to kill.

I really enjoyed the movie. But I pretty much agree with this post 100%. South Park, also, said just about the same thing.

Wait until we get the first LGTB superhero. That one will surpass the godfather as the most acclaimed movie ever.

I think the only thing I would have put Black Panther up for was maybe the costumes, but not for best movie. It was good and I enjoyed it, but it isn't going to win anything here.

Also, who cares? It means nothing.

If any super hero movie deserves to be nominated for an Oscar this year it's Aqua Man for the visual effects. I thought that those were fantastic. As for Black Panther, I thought it was one of the worst Marvel movies and saw no reason for it to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture.

I think Black Panther wouldn’t be a terrible movie if it wasn’t so overhyped. Much like Wonder Woman, both were terrible movies but at least in Wonder Woman once you realized it was terrible you got to watch a half naked chick. I truly hope society will get back to not caring about the race or gender of the main characters. I think Black Panther would’ve received a 5/10 had it not been so hyped, but since it was it got a 2/10 IMO. Much like the opposite with Solo, it had so much negative publicity that I ended up enjoying it much more than I thought I would.

I am not sure the PC culture will dissipate anytime soon. I fear “Hollywood” will dissipate before PC culture does.
