This year’s Oscar nominees have been announced, and Black Panther has made history as the first Marvel film nominated for the Best Picture award.
That’s one of 7 nominations for Marvel’s Wakandan adventure – although it notably didn’t receive nods in any of the acting, writing, or directing categories.
Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma and period comedy-drama The Favourite lead the pack for nominations, with 10 apiece.
Marvel’s other major success from last year, Avengers: Infinity War only received a single nomination for Visual Effects. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse received a nod for Best Animated Film, while Solo: A Star Wars Story also makes up the Visual Effects category.
