Black Panther Fans Rave Over Seven Oscar Nominations
There, you have it!
**Drums roll*
Black Panther has landed seven nominations and has become the first superhero film to get a Best Picture nomination in Oscar’s history. This nod will see it compete against BlacKkKlansman.
The Spike Lee film gets Best Director, Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Adam Driver), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Score and Best Picture.
The all-black cast film which raked in over $700 million in 10 days not only put Africa on the spotlight, it was seen as a form of identity for blacks all over the world.
The Best Picture nod has everyone tweeting their hearts out on social media:

Hannah Beachler just became the first African American to ever be Oscar-nominated for Best Production Design. In addition to working on BLACK PANTHER (where she was Marvel’s first female production designer), she also did MOONLIGHT and Beyoncé’s “Lemonade.” pic.twitter.com/zYRRVzm98L

Black Panther is nominated for Best Costume Design – Well deserved! Ruth E Carter has costumed some of our favorite black films like BAPS, Selma, School Daze, Malcolm X
Long overdue for Ruth as she has previously been nominated but has not yet won an #Oscar. This should be it! pic.twitter.com/yfo0sQX0eE

But some disagree:
How the hell is Black Panther nominated for best picture when it’s just a mediocre super hero movie. One of the most overrated movies 🎥 this generation. If the Dark Knight couldn’t even get nominated, Black Panther shouldn’t even be in this discussion.
