Wakanda For An Oscar?
The 2018 Academy Awards nominees are out and, for the first time ever, a superhero movie has made it into the Best Picture Category. Black Panther probably won’t win, but it’s a nice nod to the genre that has certainly matured in the last decade.
What films are pleased to see on the list? Which one are you not? And which films do you think got snubbed?
2017 Oscar Round-Up
For genre films it was (yet again) a quiet night:
- Arrival – Sound Editing
- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – Costume Design
- The Jungle Book – Visual Effects
- Piper – Animated Short Film
- Suicide Squad – Makeup and Hairstyling
- Zootopia – Animated Feature Film
Which genre films did you think got what they deserved? Which were snubbed?
2017 Academy Award Nominess
The nominees for the films that came out in 2016 are up. As usual, genre films are passed over, but at least Arrival seems to have caught the Academy’s attention for some of the major awards. While not genre, per se, Hidden Figures is definitely a geek-friendly movie and highly recommended by the Bureau staff.
88th Academy Awards – Genre Winners
How did genre films fare this year at Hollywood’s biggest night?
As usual, genre films were passed over in the “big” awards. But some of our favorite films from 2015 did not go home empty-handed with Mad Max: Fury Road winning 6 Oscars (the most of any film).
What’s your take on the awards this year?
