I may be wrong, but I think Black Panther now has more Oscar wins than any other superhero movie ever (since The Dark Knight won three). Definitely not a bad night for Marvel (except Infinity War), which is good because it was a pretty bad Oscars in terms of awards given (Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody, man).

Although in this case, unlike with 'Suicide Squad', it's for categories they actually deserved to win and be nominated for in the first place.

More like we can say a shared universe superhero movie that isn't Suicide Squad has won an Oscar (I mean, you couldn't have forgotten about The Dark Knight, right?). We can also say that Spider-Man 2 is no longer the only live-action Marvel movie to win an Oscar (having won visual effects), though of course, while the gap between is definitely bad - at least Spider-Man 2 is a superhero classic, unlike Failure Squad.
