Black Panther Is The First Superhero Film Nominated For A Best Dramatic Picture Golden Globe

Black Panther Is The First Superhero Film Nominated For A Best Dramatic Picture Golden Globe

There may not have been a lot of genre shows or films nominated at this year’s Golden Globes, but the ones that were are making a big impact—especially in the world of superhero films. Not only has Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse been nominated for Best Animated Film, but Black Panther is making cinematic history as the first superhero film ever nominated for Best Picture in the drama category.

The Golden Globes announced its nominations in 25 categories for both movies and television this morning. The Good Place, which got noticeably snubbed last year, got its long-overdue moment with a nomination for Best TV Show and Best Actress for Kirsten Bell. But sadly, many of the genre shows that have made big splashes in the past barely made a puddle this time around. The Handmaid’s Tale only got two nominations, for Elisabeth Moss and Yvonne Strahovski’s performances, and Thandie Newton was the only person representing Westworld on the nominations board.

The star of the awards is Marvel, which has made history with Black Panther being the first superhero film nominated for Best Picture as a drama (Deadpool was nominated in the Comedy category), along with Best Score and Best Song for Kendrick Lamar’s “All The Stars.” However, this comes with a caveat. None of the actors, or director Ryan Coogler, were nominated for their contributions to the film—which feels like a major snub. If a movie was considered good enough to be nominated for Best Picture, how are none of the pieces that helped put it together considered good enough too? I know this kind of thing can happen, but it’s a disappointment. Will this happen at the Oscars too?

Killing Eve’s Sandra Oh and Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Andy Samberg will host the Golden Globes awards on January 6. Here’s the full list of nominees below:
