I really hope Endgame gets a nod at least if that is what they are waiting for.
BP was a good movie, but it wasn't great, and it definitely doesn't deserve to be nominated for best picture.
It had great costumes and music, I will agree with those.

one opinion.
So then what makes
Black Panther better than 2018’s other superhero movies like
Avengers: Infinity War or
Deadpool 2? Well, for one, when it comes to the Oscars deserve’s got nothing to do with it. But one could easily argue that
Black Panther is more substantial than the other superhero offerings of 2018—it’s explicitly about something beyond the plot at hand, and frankly it’s far more elegant in juggling its themes than the other major superhero films of 2018. And it should be pointed out that Marvel Studios feels similarly, as they’re only pushing
Infinity War for Best Visual Effects in contrast to their full-court-press campaign for
Black Panther in all the major categories.

some people will also argue it's about race and tokenism. especially after #OscarsSoWhite. perhaps.
Siena Yates has said "Sometimes though, you have to take a step back because what often feels like tokenism can actually be the beginning of representation."
I like this comment
"In an era when the awards show has lost audience, relevance, and its place as a communal cultural moment, Coogler’s comic-book movie delivered on all three, and did so with a level of style and craft that rose above its peers in the genre."

here's a good article on the matter form just last week.
https://www.cinelinx.com/movie-news/...omination.html
"Many felt as if the film, its story and acting were not worthy of the nomination of the MPAA’s top honor however there are many including this writer who believes it fully is, and here are the many reasons in which it should have and these will hopefully shed some light and give a better understanding as to why this writer believes Black Panther is in the position it is.

That all these complaints are coming from white people is par for the course. Keep whining. Ya’ll are just telling on yourselves, displaying a refusal to acknowledge the cultural vibrancy and artistry in Black Panther that made it soar above and beyond just another comic book movie.
