Wakanda Forever! We're still a long way from next year's Academy Awards but comic book fans are already hoping that Black Panther will be recognised at the ceremony (making it the first superhero movie to receive a Best Picture nod since The Dark Knight). Regardless, the Marvel Studios movie dominated at the 2018 MTV Movie and TV Awards picking up a number of huge wins at the show.
Stranger Things, meanwhile, took charge of the television field. That's no great surprise giving its popularity but an argument could definitely be made that the second season wasn't quite up there with the first! Going back to Black Panther, it's great to see the movie receive so many awards and it just goes to show that it resonated with moviegoers in a big way. Did you catch the ceremony?
