Saying that a Marvel movie wouldn’t be a real Oscar contender isn’t exactly a hot take. Yeah, there was Black Panther, but that film had a unique cultural significance behind it that the Avengers movies utterly lack.
I just don’t know if I can buy that a movie like this would have a shot at a Best Picture nomination. I suppose we can’t rule it out. I mean, District 9 got a BP nod, and Dune moving to next year does leave more room for such a thing, but still, isn’t too early to throw around a prediction like that?
