The 91st Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night (February 23). Par for the course, Hollywood’s biggest and brightest stars paraded into the venue to witness the annual ceremony go down.
The Ryan Coogler-helmed film Black Panther was up for seven awards, including Best Picture, Original Song, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Production Design, Costume Design and Original Score.
Although Kendrick Lamar and SZA didn’t walk away with the Original Song award for “All The Stars,” the celebrated Marvel film scooped up a gilded trophy in the Production Design, Costume Design and Original Score categories, marking a first in Marvel film history.
Black Panther was released last February and smashed numerous box office records. Upon its release, it became the highest-grossing film by a black director, highest-grossing 2018 film in the U.S. and Canada and second-highest-grossing film of 2018 worldwide.
It also became the ninth highest-grossing film of all time with over $1.35 billion in sales worldwide as well as the third highest-grossing film of all time in North America with over $700 million.
K. Dot and TDE CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith curated the film’s soundtrack, Black Panther: The Album, which included “All The Stars.”
Earlier this month, Ludwig Göransson’s score for the movie won an Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, while Kendrick, Future, Jay Rock and James Blake won a Grammy in the Best Rap Performance category for “King’s Dead.”

Black superhero, created by white man…..Oh well, at least it’s a start. A couple of years ago this would not have been possible.
Yeah Elippz. Native country created by the white man. Black people can bitch and complain all they want. In Africa where they came from (and were sold by other Africans into slavery), they would have limbs chopped off or would be killed. No black man anywhere would envision a country that’s advanced with a black king etc. jackass.
A couple of years ago? Black panther was first published in 1966. Idiot. I guess there is some racist connotation to what you’re saying?
Lmao you’re the idiot WTF because dude clearly meant this movie wouldn’t have been possible a few years ago, not a black superhero and it’s dumb as fuck to not even realise he meant that, fall back.
Yea dude I mean it’s no time like Eddie Murphys “Coming to America” exists, or “Blade” all this did was prove all black America cares about in 2018 is race.
WHY DONT MOFOS WISEN UP AND MAKE AN ACTUAL WAKANDA CITY…HEARD AKON ON IT LETS C
Akon wants to build a futuristic city in Senegal. He could since china gave him a $5billion credit but my concern is what were the terms cause alot of Chinese folks are in parts of Africa right now like Kenya, Uganda who are currently being racist towards Africans I hear.
“Wakanda” is the only successfull African country. Too bad it’s just an imaginary creation by a white man Stan Lee.
America became so called successful by stealing land, murder and sexual abuse. Blacks help built this stolen land for free. Can u be successful without money, no?This is real not a movie.
Stolen Land?? You mean conquered, and its not even a lot of land that got conquered. most of the land was unpopulated and unclaimed. like the majority of countries were conquered, Icant even name one that wasnt.
How did u CONQUER this land? If no one own the land, i guess murder, violence and sex abuse was just for fun. Blacks would be way more successful if whites didn’t come up with laws that didn’t allow black people to own businesses. Most whites should be rich. They stop everybody else from gaining wealth.
Lmaoo but I bet you here in the states and not on Africa. You won’t go live in Africa because you know that place is trash and they’ll kill your ass and get no jail time for doing it
Ur a typical redneck. Somebody taught hatred to you. Who was it? It was probably your parents or someone else close to you. Black people have never done anything to white people. U need to live in reality. Racists are just a cult. In otherwords, you can’t think for youself. That is very sad! White people are not born to hate. In fact no race is born to hate but white people(not all) listen to a bunch of uneducated idiots to fill your mind with bullshit. I don’t hate you because your white. I hate whites that are racist. U don’t know me but love hate. Why? Only u can figure out that mystery. Love somebody of different race instead of hate. It might make u feel good. R u capable? I know here comes a bunch of hate. Stop wasting time hating, life is too short.
Cultural appropriation, comic book cultures was created by whites fall back all you Lord (lol can’t even type that without laughing) Jamars, this is ours.
Just give the whole planet to black people .
At least they’ll stop crying about that everything is against them in 2019.
/thread
Bet your wrong.
Racist White People are MAD af about a super hero movie LOL
You should be laughing at the reverse. There are more racist blacks than whites these days.
White people it’s just a movie. Calm the fvck down just let black people be happy about a movie starring people who like them just for once. Just this one movie let us enjoy it and take pride in it. Yall have Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter and basically every huge movie ever created. Why are you so mad that just one movie just one fvckin movie starring black people about black people was commercially successful? C’mon just grow up with this We Wuz Kangs b.s Wakanda is a fictional place in a movie we are well aware of that. Do you see black people laughing at grown white people dressing like they attend Hogwarts or work on the Starship Enterprise? Fvck man stop acting like black people are the 1st group of people to form a pop cult around a comic book or fictional tale.
Blacks complained, whites felt guilty and gave them oscars over past 3 yrs. Whining gets you places these days
Botswana, Angola Namibia, Ethiopia, Kenya are doing well
Go watch a video called “The Truth About BlacKKKlansman” uploaded today on Y.outube
We don’t care that the movie was popular, we care that it is obvious tokenism by these liberals in Hollywood who have an obvious bigotry of low expectations for black people. It was a good movie, but it wasn’t better than the guardians of the Galaxy movies or the past two avengers flicks. But it won big at the Oscars while those movies didn’t, in fact no superhero movies ever do, because the libtards in the academy want to congratulate black people for making a movie that wasn’t completely terrible. If anything, that should by what offends you.
i made a comment saying mexicans have being winning oscars they actually deserve and the comment got deleted
Serious question though, how is getting an award for Costume Design ” Winning Big” lol
If you want to know how well would a african country function without white people, check out what happened to Zimbabwe when they were convinced by the j-ws to kick whitey out. Hint: not good.
Wonderful a Trump white nationalist who doesn’t know her history.
Just read Barack Obama’s first book “Dreams from my father.” He explains colonization of African people and standing on their neck to keep them down.
You’re an uneducated nothing!
