The pressure for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to nominate “Black Panther” for a Best Picture Oscar has gotten that much greater in light of the film’s Golden Globe nomination for Outstanding Drama announced on Thursday.
Even though Marvel’s “Black Panther” is a good-not-great film (see my overwhelmingly positive review here), since being released last February, the campaign to propel it to Oscar-worthy status has been entirely political; proponents say the film’s novel predominantly black cast is reason enough for a gold statue.
