Kevin Feige Thinks BLACK PANTHER Deserves Oscar Love

Kevin Feige thinks Black Panther deserves Oscar recognition, although he's not too optimistic about it happening. The Marvel Studios chief recently spoke to Vox about the films chances of securing an Oscar, and while he doesn't think the odds are great, he does think the film itself is:

“I think there are a lot of amazing artists that helped to make that movie, and it would be wonderful if they could be recognized. Almost everyone involved in that movie, bringing that movie together, is great, and it would be wonderful to see if they’re recognized. We’ll see. This genre, typically not.

And I think it would be a wonderful thing for Panther and for our production designer Hannah [Beachler], and our costume designer Ruth [Carter], and for Ryan [Coogler] who co-wrote the script with Joe Robert Cole, and of course directed the movie. And Michael B. Jordan, and Chadwick [Boseman] and Lupita [Nyong’o] and Letitia [Wright]. There’s amazing performances, amazing artistry in that. I’d love to see them recognized, and I’d love to see this genre recognized. Yes, they’re visual effects, yes, they are fun explosions, yes, there are spaceships. But these are all hand-crafted. Maybe it’s in front of a computer; it’s often actual sets, actual hand-built costumes. As much passion and artistry and talent goes into every single one we do; it’d be amazing for them to be recognized.”

So basically Kevin Feige would be happy if the entire cast and crew of Black Panther got an Oscar. I suppose we shouldn't really expect much different. After all, wouldn't it be weird if he said "Nah, I don't really think it deserves praise." Do you think Black Panther is Oscar worthy in any category?
