Pixar can suck the darkest part of Spider Ham's unwiped ass. B)
I would have liked to see Black Panther take Best Picture, but I haven't seen the movie that did win so I shouldn't judge. Glad they got the award for best costumes though, they really earned that.
Because you think Panther was that good or other reasons?
Because I think Black Panther was excellent, and the costumes were effin gorgeous. It was such a nice change of pace to see a superhero movie with a color palette that extended beyond "steel grey" and "sodium light orange".
Costumes better be pretty for MCU Disney money.
What was so esxcellent about it? I did not hate it, but was dissapointed.

Plus the argument of the other poster.
I'm not sure how much you care about this kinda stuff, but the backdrop of Wakanda being a nation that avoided colonization by Europe was pretty provocative to me as far as theme. As far as villains, the plot of Killmonger has a considerable amount of evocative undertones, and the scope of his plans are pretty pertinent to real world issues I feel. The social norms exhibited by the Wakandan society transcend what we've speculated about our own societies, western undoubtedly, but even African I believe in a prospective manner.
Mainly I'm just kinda curious how you regarded that second aspect.
Khaless would rather die than live under Molor's tyranny.

The pacing was perfect, making an over-two-hours film fly by like a 45-minute television episode. The humor was punchy and frequent without interrupting the drama. Klau was a gleefully malevolent antagonist and lots of fun. The main villain's origin had some real pathos to it. The way they played the Jabari was interesting and caught me by surprise. The action scenes were peppy and the afro-futurist tech was engaging.

Let me tell you something more provocative. it's called Ethiopia and it did that.
I fail to see how Killmonger is relevant at least to any big segment of the American audience.
We barely saw how Wakanada functioned. It's best to keep it that way and have adventure stories as far as i am concerned.

I think only Godfather 1 and 2 has perfect pacing. Humor was kinda weird but sometimes funny.
Who were the Jabari?
Tech was engaging.
Imperfect pacing, confused politics, CIA guy remotely piloting stuff.
I might haved to collect some other memories.

Why even bring up the ceremony if you don't care about film in the first place?
If you like haute couture, the Oscars are your jam. Any appearance of genre film in the mix is purely incidental.
The Jabari where the snowy mountain tribe with the really hot leader, the ones who challenged T'Challa in his becoming-a-king ritual before Killmonger showed up.
The politics seemed fairly lucid to me. What was wrong with the remote-control piloting by Frodo?

Yes they fended off imperial efforts, becoming further disenfranchised in the grand scheme of things. A story centered on that circumstance being a front for a technologically advanced super society is a great blueprint in a medium most commonly involving socially disenfranchised individuals with alter egos and super powers.

Not sure what you mean. He was staging a global assault for black populations around the world.
We barely saw how Wakanada functioned. It's best to keep it that way and have adventure stories as far as i am concerned.
And we still got the notion of how they subverted gender conventions in western societies.

The medium being comics or movies?
It's how it is executed, anyone can come up with an intriguing premise.
2.That idea is as far from becoming a reality as me getting blown by Michelle Obama livestreamed across the world in space with no space suit on.
3. We just throw an Oscar at anything that has Amazons in it or a women caste of scientists?

Did Wonder Woman get an Oscar or something? That's hardly the only reason that it might be nominated at least.
