Statistically speaking it was a near certainty when Avengers: Endgame became the highest grossing movie of all time that it would be nominated for some Oscars. Well the ceremony was last night and Avengers: Endgame was only nominated for one award, which it lost to 1917.

TAKES TITLE , LACK OF AWARDS

It’s surprising to see Avengers: Endgame get shut out at the Academy Awards because of Marvel’s success at the Oscars just last year where Black Panther was nominated for seven Oscars. That film would go on to nab three total Oscars, the most of any superhero movie to date; but with Avengers: Endgame The Academy went back to their usual tactic of simply nominating the latest Marvel movie for Best Visual Effects and then awarding something else with the title.
