These Are The Exact Oscar Noms Black Panther Humbly Hopes To Get

if you haven't heard, Disney really, really wants Black Panther to win a Oscar! And right now we know exactly which statuettes they want. The studio has released an official For Your Consideration wish list, noting every category and every potential nominee they'd happy to be able to see recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.


Included on the extensive list are dream-nominations for Best Picture, Best Director for Ryan Coogler, Best Actor for Chadwick Boseman, Best Supporting Actor for Michael B. Jordan, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Winston Duke, Sterling K. Brown, Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis, Best Supporting Actress for Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, and a few off-camera categories, like Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup & Hairstyling, and Best Original Song. In total, they're hoping for nominations in 16 categories. Visualize the full list of names here.)


Whether or not the film will receive any nominations remains to be seen, yet awards season has already been a wild ride for the Black Panther crew.


In early August, the Academy reported a new category for "popular" movies — seemingly tailor-made for the record-breaking blockbuster, however the King of Wakanda himself, Boseman, told The Hollywood Reporter that the Marvel masterpiece would not be actively campaigning for that category, alternatively keeping their eyes on the highest prize, Best Picture.


the difference is currently a non-issue. A week soon after Boseman's comments and much less than a month soon following the opening announcement, the Academy determined that they will not be moving forward with the popular category this year, soon after all.


Without consideration, no matter what occurs in the coming months, Black Panther will forever hold the coveted Best Movie Golden Popcorn trophy from the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards. Your move, Academy.
