So, what do you guys think about this?:

Personally, I feel the Academy is trying to make more of an effort to nominate at least one "unrealistic" movie a year ever since Gravity got nominated, as seen with Gravity, Interstellar (though that didn't get nominated for Best Picture), The Martian, Mad Max Fury Road, and Arrival. I'm personally of the mindset that superhero movies need to go above and beyond in being good films if they are to deserve nominations in the quote-unquote "prestigious" categories (Picture, Director, both Screenplays, and all four Acting). Although Winter Soldier and Logan came close, I feel that only The Dark Knight has been worthy of consideration in like, forever. The same goes for Black Panther, which I feel only deserves technical nominations (something superhero movies genuinely are lacking, especially last year), such as Costume Design, Cinematography, and Production Design. That said, if it manages to be the only MCU movie to win in any category, and gets nominated in a lot of others, I could see it maybe getting to that Best Picture nomination the comic fanbase desperately pines for.
