‘Black Panther’ rules over Online Film and Television Association (OFTA) nominations

The nominations for the 23rd Annual OFTA Film awards were announced on Sunday, January 20, 2019.

According to the OFTA: “these tallies exclude the Best Movie Trailer and Best Movie Poster categories because they are produced by the publicity department, not necessarily the filmmakers.” Other nominees for Best Picture include BlacKkKlansman, First Man, Green Book, Hereditary, If Beale Street Could Talk, Roma, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
