Which MCU Movies Have Won The Oscars? Have You Seen Them All?

Only 4 Marvel movies have ever won an Oscar.

Comic book movies have always struggled to find much success when it comes to Hollywood’s most prestigious awards, particularly the Oscars.

But every so often a blockbuster comes along that resonates with the Academy and ultimately finds success in a number of categories.

1.) Spider-Man 2 (2004)

Spider-Man 2 lost out on several awards at the Oscars including “Best Sound Editing” and “Best Sound Mixing.” However, it did win the “Best Visual Effects” prize that year after Spider-Man and Doc-Ock went toe-to-toe in epic fashion with plenty of web-swinging along the way.

This came after 2002’s original Spider-Man failed to win in the same category, with Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers instead coming out victorious.

2.) Black Panther (2018)

Black Panther still holds the record for the most Oscars given to a superhero movie with three awards out of seven nominations. Among the acknowledgements was for “Best Picture” – the first superhero movie to be nominated in the category – which it, unfortunately, lost out to against director Peter Farrelly’s Green Book.

Its other nominations were for “Best Original Song” – for Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “All the Stars” – “Best Sound Editing,” and “Best Sound Mixing.”

Still, it did manage to take home three Academy Awards for “Best Original Score,” “Best Production Design,” and “Best Costume Design.” This largely demonstrated praise toward Marvel Studios’ creation and world-building of Wakanda along with Ludwig Göransson’s wonderful score that accompanied it.

3.) Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

Into the Spider-Verse is regarded by many as the greatest adaptation of Spider-Man ever made, and beyond that, the Academy concluded it was 2018’s “Best Animated Feature Film.” Sony’s animated blockbuster was praised upon release for its unique animation, deep characters, and impressive superhero story.

The award was given to directors Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, writer Phil Lord, and producer Christopher Miller.

4.) Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever followed in the footsteps of its predecessor in winning “Best Costume Design” for Ruth E. Carter’s work in creating the attire of both the African nation and Namor’s Talokan.

Additionally, Queen Ramonda’s Angela Bassett was nominated for “Best Supporting Actress” – a historic moment for Marvel – but lost out to Everything Everywhere All at Once’s Jamie Lee Curtis.

The other nominations in question were for “Best Makeup and Hairstyling,” “Best Visual Effects,” and “Best Original Song” – for Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up.”

The current totals leave Marvel with six Oscars.
