“Black Panther” is the first superhero movie to earn a best picture Oscar nomination.
The Disney/Marvel film shares the category with BlacKkKlansman,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “The Favourite,” “Green Book,” “Roma,” “A Star Is Born” and “Vice.”
The Marvel Studios film also earned nods for best costume design, production design, sound editing, sound mixing, original score and original song.

As noted by cnbc.com, while “Black Panther” garnered critical acclaim as well as box office success, that won’t mean it will easily nab the best picture win next month during the ceremony.
But making history as the “only superhero film in the bunch isn’t the only thing that sets “Black Panther” apart from the pack,” the outlet writes. “It’s also the highest-grossing film of the eight nominees,” and has earned more money at the domestic box office “than all seven fellow nominees combined.”
