Coming off a Golden Globe win for his performance as the Joker, I don’t think it surprises many that Phoenix has also snagged a nomination for the big statue, the Oscar. However, the film itself is laughing its way up to the podium with an impressive 11 nominations for the film all-together.
Along with Phoenix being in prime position to nab another Best Actor award, Joker also has its eyes on Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Adapted Screenplay as well as a handful of other categories. I guess this is where DC surpasses Marvel. Though, I would bet that 10+ years of box-office success helps Marvel cope with their lack of statues.

Sure, Black Panther was nominated for Best Picture, and while I really enjoyed the film I just feel the Best Picture nod was heavily political, but I believe it absolutely deserved the other six nominations it earned. I mean, in my opinion, it wasn’t even the best Marvel film of the year.
