As the Oscar Season is in full effect, Best Picture nominee hopeful Black Panther has kick started its campaign in grand fashion. The highest grossing film of the year has another award to add to its trophy case, the 2018 Hollywood Film Award.
In a press release announcing this year’s winners, the Hollywood Film Awards attributed Black Panther’s win to the massive acclaim it received from both fans and critics. The press release stated,
“Black Panther became a cultural phenomenon that has broken boundaries and created a movement, gracing the cover of Time Magazine,” the release read.
“Black Panther had the highest grossing non-sequel opening weekend of all time, showing that diversity and representation in front of and behind the camera can equal global box-office success.”
Since there has never been a film in the 10 year history of the MCU to receive a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars, there is no denying that this a step int he right direction.
