Best Film Nominated

Eight Films Nominated for Best Film, with Roma and The Favorite leading the pack with 10 nods apiece

Black Panther 19659006] Ryan Coogler's superhero movie is not your average adaptation to Marvel Comics. Chadwick Boseman, Michael B Jordan, Lupita Nyong & # 39; o, Danai Gurira and Letitia Wright are strong female characters and a celebration of the African roots of the American black community.

He is also competing for the original score, sound editing, sound mixing, production design, the original song ( all stars ) and costume design. However, the importance of the film exceeds the awards season.

In an article by The Atlantic entitled "The Provocation and Power of the Black Panther", Vann R Newkiri II states that Black Panther [19459005Lavéritablevictoirede] resides in "his reflection on the 39, identity, responsibility and the future of a diaspora [African] ". He describes the film as a "fantasy about black power", which offers tantalizing possibilities for what could have been in a world without colonialism.

This reimagination of an Afrocentric world was woven into the costumes and the design of the production. The New York Times questions costume designer Ruth E Carter about how she envisioned "a futuristic African reality – composed of various tribes and spared by the colonizers". Carter explains the costume of T'Challa's black panther and the flared Zulu helmets, called isicholo, that inspired Queen Mother Ramonda's hat.

In the video Vanity Fair below, Ruth E. Carter breaks down some of these conceptions in the context of the entry scene of T & # 39; Challa.
