It's amazing that MCU fans are always in denial. MCU fans are in denial that without Superman: The Movie, there would be no Avengers movies and no MCU. And MCU fans are in denial that Disney forced the Academy to create the Most Popular Movie category so Black Panther could get a non-technical Oscar nomination.

How ABC Pushed Film Academy to Overhaul Oscars

From the article:

Academy officials acknowledged that the ratings situation was dire. At a meeting several weeks ago, AMPAS board members discussed the changes proposed and pushed for by ABC. On Tuesday night, the board voted to move the Oscars up to Feb. 9, 2020; to cap the telecast length at three hours by moving several awards categories into commercial breaks; and to create a “popular film” category, the criteria for which has not yet been divulged.

Thanks for providing the evidence proving once again that I was right that Disney forced the Academy to create the Most Popular Movie category so Black Panther could get a non-technical Oscar nomination!
