Walt Disney Studios has begun their 2018 Academy Award Campaign for Black Panther.
Studios campaign with the intent to get their movies seen by as many people as possible. They do this through ads, screenings, parties, lobbying, etc. The buzz created by these campaigns can sometimes be the difference between someone viewing a film or not. The greater the buzz, the more likely members of the Academy are to go and see them, thus increasing their chances of bringing home one of those shiny, golden men.

Black Panther is the story of a modern, uncolonized utopian Africa and a modern African hero. Prince T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) becomes king of Wakanda (a hidden and technologically advanced kingdom) and must defend his throne against Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), a rogue mercenary. Wakanda’s elite security force is comprised of all females led by Lupita Nyong’o and Danai Gurira. T’Challa’s tech-savvy sister (Letitia Wright) and mother (Angela Bassett) are also portrayed as strong, intelligent women who help to defend Wakanda and their king.
As the Academy Awards will soon draw near, you may want to watch (or re-watch) Black Panther as it works to claim recognition in all of these categories. Will you stand with Wakanda at this year’s Oscars?
