The Marvel Cinematic Universe finally won not only its first ever Oscar but its first three Oscars this year, with Black Panther scooping the gongs for Best Costume Design, Best Production Design and Best Original Score.

All three wins were relatively surprising given the intense competition in each case, but it was undeniably nice to see the franchise finally score its first Oscar love given that the universe has been a critical and commercial mammoth for over a decade.

Plus, Suicide Squad won the DC Extended Universe an Oscar back in 2017, so it was neat to see the MCU not only even the score but take a firm lead.
