Guess Who's Coming to the Oscars: Multicultural Breakthroughs in "Black Panther" and Other Recent Movies
Beck, Bernard
Multicultural Perspectives, v20 n3 p162-166 2018
The movie awards for 2018 were dominated by works by and about marginalized people who are underrepresented in contemporary movies. The movies use established forms of superficial, sensational, and escapist movie-making. The conventions of these "eye candy" forms contradict and undermine the serious adult significance of the works, in obedience to the commercial demands of the movie industry.
