The 95th Oscars nominees list is here.
The strange Everything Everywhere All at Once led the pack with eleven nominations while All Quiet on the Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin followed with nine nominations each.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever scooped four nominations, one of which was for the soundtrack ‘Lift Me Up’, written by Nigerian Tems, Rihanna, Ryan Coogler, and Oscar winner Ludwig Göransson. Angela Basset also stands in the running for Best Supporting Actress for the same movie.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever can’t stop breaking records. On January 18, 2023, it smashed its box-office record by becoming the first film to reach 1 billion Naira in Nigeria and Ghana since its release in November 2022. The filmmakers and cast from Wakanda Forever recently flocked to Lagos to celebrate the film’s release, making history as the first official African Marvel Studios to premiere in Nigeria.
