Black Panther made history during Tuesday's announcement of the 2019 Oscars nominees, becoming the first superhero movie to be nominated in the Best Picture category. It's also the first-ever Best Picture nomination for Marvel Studios. Black Panther has a total of seven nominations at the 2019 Oscars: in addition to Best Picture, the Ryan Coogler-directed film has also been recognised in Best Original Score for Ludwig Göransson, Best Original Song for “All the Stars”, Best Sound Editing, and Mixing, Best Production Design, and Best Costume Design. Surprisingly, Black Panther missed out in the Best Visual Effects field, where its fellow Marvel entry, Avengers: Infinity War, grabbed a spot.

At the same time, Black Panther's recognition at the 2019 Oscars is somewhat courtesy of a film a decade its prior. 2008's Marvel's — Oscar dream possible.

Black Panther faces stiff competition and is unlikely to win the top award though. Out of its seven fellow contenders in Best Picture at the 2019 Oscars, Don Shirley biopic Green Book has award-season momentum on its side, Bohemian Rhapsody won at got Netflix its first-ever Best Picture nod, and leads the list of nominees with 10 nods — is another major player.

The 2019 Oscars will take place on February 24, 2019.
