This story has been updated to reflect Black Panther’s Best Picture Oscar nomination.
Comic book movies have been dominating the motion picture box office for decades, but at the Academy Awards… not so much.
Every year the Oscars highlight the so-called best movies, performances and technical accomplishments of the year, but comic book adaptations rarely make it into the acting and writing categories, and after all this time they’ve still never been nominated for Best Director. (Black Panther is the first of the genre to get a Best Oscar nom.) They get nominated for a lot of technical awards, but they rarely ever win. (Did you know that none of the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have ever won an Oscar? Crazy, right?)
