Black Panther was 2018’s most important film, whether or not it wins Best Picture

as mentioned in Related Black Panther is a joyous game changer for MarvelWhy was Black Panther such a global phenomenon? Alissa Wilkinson: Whether or not Black Panther was the best film of the year, it definitely was the film of the year. But Black Panther had a big hurdle to overcome in its pursuit of a Best Picture nomination: It's a superhero film, and no film in that genre has ever been nominated for Best Picture before. Taking that all into account, I don't think Black Panther has a chance of winning Best Picture. No matter what happens, it's a big deal that Black Panther has the opportunity to upend the Oscars this year.


The Most Important Debate in Black Panther Is, Unsurprisingly, Between Two Women

At this point in the film, the kingdom is in crisis; emotions are high and the future is in peril. MarvelThe plot of Black Panther is driven by a fight between two perspectives on the history and future of Wakanda, writ large on T'Challa and Killmonger. But these characters, unlike Nakia and Okoye, cannot clearly navigate their way through a political debate because of their personal stakes and past trauma.

Every time somebody's driving somebody, I lose," joked a visibly frustrated Spike Lee following Green Book's Best Picture win at the 2019 Oscars. Peter Farrelly's segregation-era road-trip drama Green Book is the latest to join the infamous Worst Best Picture list, of which Paul Haggis's Crash still remains the undisputed title-holder. Black Panther was a watershed moment for black representation in popular culture — and the cultural history of African people. If diversity was the most important criterion for judging the Oscars' Best Picture nominees, Black Panther and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse were the more laudable choices, not Green Book.

If you thought Chadwick Boseman was sick of people asking him to throw up the "Wakanda forever" sign just a few months after Black Panther's release, well, we have some news: Wakanda fans are not going anywhere. Becoming the highest-grossing superhero movie of all time and shattering a 21-year box office record can be quantified by the billion dollars it made worldwide, but the impact of the movie and what it means to the black community is immeasurable. As the first superhero film with a nearly all-black cast, the Ryan Coogler-directed film was as historic as it was humorous. With a cast that embraced natural hairstyles and superheroes who represented African cultures and traditions in a way we've never seen before on the big screen, Wakanda proved to be more than just a fictional country — it was a movement.
