The idea of a "prestige pic", and the idea that only a 'prestige pic' deserves to win movies, is ridiculous and silly, though. Because being a "prestige pic" doesn't have anything to do with quality - it only refers to whether a movie has "prestige", which means whether it looks and feels High Class and Serious. And we shouldn't give awards based on that.

Black Panther was, I thought, a well-executed and good action blockbuster. I don't necessarily think it deserves Best Picture for that, but it's certainly more deserving of a nomination than something like that looks and feels more prestigious but isn't actually good.

SO MUCH THIS. Oscar-bait movies are so obvious when they come out; usually old people being sad stories with very famous actors who have a shelf full of Oscars already, sometimes a heartwarming outcome and sometimes a tragedy, a few sprinkles of shock, diversity, or historicity, and plenty of scenes where people are either crying or screaming at each other because the only way to be a good actor is to cry or or get angry.

I'm really glad Black Panther is nominated because the shakeup is worth it. I don't even like superhero movies but this just feels like a good step to me.

YES! So tired of the crap that gets nominated. A lot of it is so *obviously* made in the hopes of getting an Oscar, and it's about damn time a 'genre' movie like BP got nominated. I hate the mindset that excludes pretty much any sci-fi, fantasy, or 'super' movie (superhero, supernatural) or tv show from getting anything other than niche, genre awards.

Thank you. The Oscars are bullshit.

I'm getting really tired of this straw man. Just because I or anyone else don't think BP is deserving of a nomination doesn't mean I don't think a superhero movie can have a place at the Oscars.

Like, hey, Into The Spider-verse, which was actually one of the best movies this year but got ripped off via categories.
