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

Hey, guys! Now that we all recovered from CODA beating The Power of the Dog for the Academy Award for Best Picture (you know I loved CODA but it wasn't superior to Campion's latest by any means), it's time to start those Oscar charts, reviewing those movies and making those lists! 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!
