Black Panther is the first superhero movie to earn an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, a move that many critics, industry members, and fans have deemed a watershed moment. It wasn’t too long ago that debates sprung up around Hollywood about whether a superhero movie could or should earn a Best Picture nomination when standing alongside more stereotypical dramatic films.

With Oscar nominations right around the corner, you may want to revisit a few Academy Award winners of the past. Netflix makes this easy, with a whole category dedicated to “Oscar-winning movies.” Below are 21 standouts from that retrospective category. But I should also mention that Netflix’s own “Roma” is a front-runner for Best Picture (nominees will be announced Jan. 22 and the awards ceremony is Feb. 24). Although it hasn’t won an Oscar yet, you should stream that beautiful movie right along with the already certified winners.

I pointed out that, with Guillermo del Toro’s big win, Mexican directors have won four of the past five Best Director Oscars. Del Toro, Iñárritu and Gravity’s Alfonso Cuaron, best friends and longtime collaborators and colleagues all, are affectionately known as the “three amigos.” With The Shape of Water and Coco triumphs, Iñárritu noted it was a very big night for Mexico. “I am just waiting to see what Trump tweets about this,” he said while promising to get del Toro drunk as soon as he could find him.

There are other factors behind the weirder, more personal nominees in the category, but the statistics are worth considering.

The Shape of Water takes Best Picture.

Oscar-winning actor Casey Affleck has pulled out of this year's Academy Awards, his publicist has confirmed. By tradition, Affleck - who won Best Actor for Manchester By The Sea in 2017 - would have been expected to present the Best Actress award this year. The actor, brother of Hollywood star Ben Affleck, was sued by two female crew members for alleged sexual harassment in 2010.

“Moonlight” walked away with best picture honors at the end of Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony in Hollywood. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were given the best actress award envelope. A confused Beatty saw Emma Stone’s name and “La La Land,” and handed the envelope to Dunaway, who then announced the musical as the Best Picture winner.

2016 was a pretty good year for movies- a nice variety of movies were released, ranging from thought provoking sci-fi to heartwarming musicals- while I got to see quite a few of the films nominated for the 89th Academy Awards, I didn't see them all. There are quite a few that I'm planning on watching- if you've seen the Oscars and you're wondering where to see all the movies, you've come to the right place: here are all the winners, nominees, and links to where you can watch them.

A Syrian cameraman and rescue worker whose documentary about the civil defence group known as the White Helmets has been nominated for an Oscar will not attend the awards ceremony because Damascus has cancelled his passport, the group said on Sunday. The White Helmets operate a rescue service in rebel-held parts of Syria, which have been subjected to fierce bombardment by the government and Russia’s air force during the country’s civil war that has levelled whole city districts.

Another year, another list of Oscar nominations. And yet again, as with most years in the history of the Academy Awards, not a single horror movie has been nominated. Sure, the dearth of award-winning horror flicks is nothing new, but as the genre continues to turn out excellent art, it's becoming harder and harder to justify the lack of awards recognition. Before diving into the numbers, here are some of the best horror flicks of 2016 that didn't receive any recognition from the Academy and should have.

Two can play at this game, Academy. Polish-British filmmaker Pawel Pawlikowski won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film Sunday night and decided he doesn't give a damn about the Academy's intrusive wrap-it-off music. Despite acknowledging that the music was cuing him off, he kept talking, even bringing up his late wife and parents as the music ended.

The New York Times today published corrections to a story that ran more than 150 years ago, thanks to the twin forces of Twitter and Hollywood. The article, published on January 20th, 1853, describes the story of Solomon Northup, a freed African-American who was kidnapped and sold into slavery.
