Why is this even a thing?

They think giving out a participation trophy is going to increase ratings I guess? I have no idea.

I don't see IW winning. It's definitely going to be BP.

Infinity War was huge and made more than BP, but I feel like BP was definitely a much bigger deal.

I think Disney said something like they wouldn't even send anyone to accept the Oscar for Best Popular Film if Black Panther wins it.

Disney was literally the one that pushed for the inclusion of the Popular Film Category, so, that's not accurate at all.

Sounds like they hired someone exclusively to push Black Panther for Best Picture, not Best Popular Film

Interesting, but that doesn't mean they still wont accept it if it snags Popular.

Honestly, knowing Disney, they're probably trying to double dip and get Black Panther to win Best Picture and Infinity War to win Popular feature. Wouldn't put it past them.

Disney will push to get Incredibles 2 nominated as well. And it should be, it was AWESOME.

Incredibles 2 might get nom'd for Popular, but it's still not the most likely. The Academy's never been super fond of animated films, but it definitely has more of a shot than Wreck-It Ralph will, I think.

It's a shoe-in for Best Animated Feature at the moment though.

It's going to be Infinity War, but I wouldn't be mad at Mission Impossible or A Quiet Place winning. Giving it to Black Panther would just be a cowardly move

Mission Impossible is definitely a strong second place contender, it was an incredible action movie

Infinity is a fun movie, but no way is it better than Black Panther. IW was just a bunch of quips and action scenes. Nobody other than Thanos and maybe Thor had any kind of character growth or exploration at all. Whereas in Black Panther the story, characters, and even the setting were fully fleshed-out and explored.


I feel like it didn't go nearly strong enough on Killmonger being a "good guy" in some respects. People were telling me about how he was relatable and you could see him as justified, but not at all. Just another guy who wants to rule the world.


I agree with you there. Killmonger was the weak point of the movie.

Killmonger was pretty weak. I don't think M'Baku was meant to be the best character, but casting will do that sometimes

The shark movie with Jason Statham made more in its first three weeks than Solo did in its entire run
