The Oscars are drying upon ABC this year, a network owned by Disney which in development furthermore owns Marvel. It's a absolute excuse for the studio to cross-promote later the TV channel and later no host, it does not shock me there might be a shove to bring as many cast members from Avengers: Endgame together as possible. Still, it's beautiful weird that this is the running the 91st Academy Awards seems to be going in, for myriad reasons.
After we educational that Kevin Hart quit the Oscars later a brouhaha surrounding dated tweets, the Academy Awards were having upset lining stirring a further host. Now, the action will be going without this year, and will instead be using a "rotating cast of stars," per THR, to occupy the gaps. in the middle of those stars are a slew of Marvel cast members.
When last we checked, it seemed likely that at least some of the Avengers would make an appearance, but that the details were yet swine hammered out. (Don Cheadle, for one, doesn't seem to be in the loop.)
Supposing we are going to be getting some major Marvel actors together for the Oscars ceremony, it seems incredibly gracious of the actors to realize so. First and foremost, it wasn't fittingly long ago that superheroes were decidedly unwelcome within the context of awards shows.
That's changing a little bit this year, as for the first time, a superhero movie could get a salutation in the Best describe category. Previously, Marvel movies have been relegated to the side categories, things later VFX in particular. Not that those teams aren't important to making films a skill as well, but it's enormously clear that the Best describe and Best Actor categories are the ones that retain the most prestige -- at any awards show, not just the Oscars.
So, if you see at the history of Marvel movies at the Academy Awards, you will see the nominations are mostly in the Best Visual Effects category, and the last times a Marvel movie actually won in that category was for Spider-Man 2, fittingly we'd truly have to thank Sony. further superhero projects, later Logan and The Dark Knight, have expanded out slightly in nominations.
In general, Marvel movies have been overlooked by the Academy.
A few months ago, Disney put all of its awards eggs into Black Panther's basket and the parentage checking account was recently nominated for several Golden Globes. So, the plans to shove Black Panther have at least worked to an extent. (It didn't win the Golden Globe for Best the theater after all.) Regardless, a nomination would yet be a step in an important direction.
Having superhero representation at the Oscars is great in a lot of ways, because it ties a stuffy awards ceremony later the films that people are actually shelling out to see in the theaters. Yet, it's sort of ridiculous that ABC wants to shove popular characters later The Avengers to sell its action later they yet aren't swine final a chair at the table by the Academy.
Then there's the second problem.
Black Panther is a unquestionable indigenous movie later excellent performances and chilly world building. However, there are factions of people who adore the Black Panther parentage checking account and are glad Wakanda furthermore finished stirring swine a major location in Avengers: Infinity War, but yet would have pushed the latter movie more than the former for awards consideration.
After all, Infinity exploit had a shocking ending, made great use of an ensemble cast, told a superhero checking account we'd never seen past and allow the bad guy win. More upon that here. We're sort of comparing apples to further apples here, and I'd have to guess the further Infinity exploit actors aren't exasperated more or less Chadwick Boseman and co.'s skill (at least I'd hope). At the end of the day, though, it's somewhat in poor taste to be like, "Hey Avengers, here's your consolation prize."
Awards shows gonna awards show.
Nothing is set in stone yet later the 91st Academy Awards ceremony and ABC yet has a few weeks to hammer out what it wants to do. In addition, what may be fine for ABC--e.g. cross-promoting Avengers: Endgame--may ultimately end stirring swine heavens deaf later how Academy voters vote, and that's not necessarily ABC's fault.
Still, there's not going to be a host and there's probably going to be a superhero push, fittingly expect things to get a little weird.
We'll locate out how superhero content fares later the Oscar nominations arrive out upon January 22 and see how the final telecast pans out later the 91st Academy Awards air upon Sunday, February 24, unaided upon ABC. For now, you can see what else is headed to television later our midseason premiere schedule.
