Although award season isn’t quite here yet, Black Panther has already started collecting them.
The Ryan Coogler-directed film will be receiving 2018’s Hollywood Film Award on November 4 at the annual awards show.
“Black Panther became a cultural phenomenon that has broken boundaries and created a movement, gracing the cover of Time magazine,” the HFA said in a statement. “Black Panther had the highest grossing non-sequel opening weekend of all time, showing that diversity and representation in front and behind the camera can equal global box-office success.”
Black Panther will also be honored with the Hollywood Production Design Award.
The news comes just a few weeks after it was announced Coogler had signed on to direct the sequel. Black Panther had the highest-grossing opening weekend of all time for a non-sequel film, bringing in $241.9 million over President’s Day holiday weekend.
Disney will be pushing to prioritize the film in 16 categories at the 91st Annual Academy Awards ceremony, which is scheduled to take place on February 24 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Can anyone honestly say this movie had the best script, direction, cinematography, acting (ok maybe best supporting actor for killmonger), fx, or production design of 2018? This movie was not the best at anything I’m sorry. Stop with the pity PC awards.
for most overrated movie of the decade award?!
Enough with this overrated garbage.
I love Black Panther. It made whitey maaad. Whitey wake up red face and angry because they want Wakandas technology. Ooooh whitey mad. Ooof
The level of truth to this statement is so sad and embarrassing…people literally love Black Panther for everything other than the actual quality of the movie. It’s a bullshit superhero movie like all the rest…get over yourselves, if Trump wasn’t prez everybody would’ve glossed over this movie like many others
The movie was fun but really I’m not sure but okay. Well thank Hebrew gentlemen for producing, financing and then recognising it as a critically acclaimed work. You welcomed black people. Not to mention all the record deals that have uplifted so many talented young black men and women. Why you so generous Hebrew folk? It’s just the way we are we love giving back that’s the secret to the success of Gods chosen always give back.
The movie below average generally comic movies are bad at least Deadpool had some humour
I don’t know how I feel about this. Black Panther is kind of like Wonder Woman – an average movie that everybody feels compelled to like to show that they support Women Empowerment and are against racism. I’m all for these courses. But the truth is they’re only “groundbreaking” as pieces of political activism, and not as works of art. For me the simple question when critiquing a movie should be whether it’s a good film or not, and not whether it’s for a good course or not. Affirmative Action should have no place in art.
This is how the hebrews award you negroes for hating whitey. Look it up and find out it was the same hebrews running the transatlantic white people. They are not white, stop blamin white people for the hebrews wrong doings.
What does this have to do with Hip Hop?
