MCU put the internet on fire with the release of the emotionally ressonant trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever , which takes place after the death of King T'Challa (and real-life death of the talented Chadwick Boseman , who played the title character of the franchise). Ryan Coogler is back with the franchise's director's duties and it seems his job reached titanic heights! Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 's trailer featured some of the most impressive visuals showed on a movie trailer this year, so far! Plus, it seems an ode to women power: Lupita Nyong'o , Angela Bassett , Letitia Wright and Danai Gurira - these are the actresses portraying the four women leading Wakanda after the king's death.  No matter what, it seems MCU is going right in the Black Panther realm: not only it gives POC actors a lot of room to shine, but its upcoming message of feminism and presentation of women as rulers, carers, warriors and symbols promises one of the most special...

Actually, I was so upset for CODA 's big win that I only noticed I never posted the 2022 Academy Awards winners list. My fault! I am such a shame as an Oscar blogger!!! I hope you missed Cinema and Popcorn, but my job doesn't allow me to make it my full time activity - so I am trying to focus on the most award-friendly part of the year!
