Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Nominated For Five Academy Awards

Glad for Angela. She's been a force in the acting community for may years and it's good to see her get her due.

On the other hand, Best Visual Effects? Really? Compared to most Marvel Studios fare I thought it was pretty weak sauce. The were elegant, yes, but they were so convoluted and muddy, especially in the underwater scenes. It's a bit of a reach. The whole Talocan thing was a complete mess. Was it an underwater world? Was it partly above ground. Did they live in caves? It was just weird. And compared to what they did with Aquaman it was just subpar.

Good for her. I've admired her as an actress ever since Strange Days.

Didn't see much this year, but Angela Bassett made an amazing performance worthy of nomination. The costumes and art design (barring the low visibility of Talocan) were beautiful too.

My thoughts as well.

I had the call for Bassett to be considered before I saw the movie and figured that was just PR hype. She was really very solid though. I'm glad she was nominated by her peers.
