MOVIE NEWS – Disney has officially submitted Black Panther in every major category.

Black Panther was a huge success amongst viewers and critics. Still, just because Disney submits something for consideration when it comes to the Academy Awards doesn’t necessarily mean that it has a great chance of getting nominated. Studios will often at least throw their hat in the ring when it comes to a big movie. But with Black Panther, it appears as though the studio will be giving a significant push to get this thing some awards season love. Will that result in a Best Picture nomination? Time will tell, but it’s starting to feel like this might actually have a shot at happening.

Outside of Best Picture, Ryan Coogler has been submitted for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, alongside co-writer Joe Robert Cole. Chadwick Boseman has been submitted for Best Actor, virtually every credited actor with a speaking role has been submitted for Best Supporting Actor, with Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright and Angela Bassett all submitted in the category of Best Supporting Actress. Some of the other awards that the movie has a very solid shot at scoring nominations for include Best Costume Design, Best Sound Mixing/Editing, Best Visual Effects and Best Original Song with Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s All The Stars.

The 91st Oscars will be held in on February 24th, 2019.
