Oscars 2019: 'Black Panther' makes history twice for diversity

Hannah Bleacher became the first African American to win an Oscar in production design for her work in bringing the fictitious nation of Wakanda to the big screen in Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’. The film topped a field that included the nominees from ‘The Favourite’, ‘The Nation’, Mary Poppins Returns’ and ‘Roma’. The award for best costume design went to Ruth Carter and in her own words, it was “a long time coming.” Carter won for ‘Black Panther’ and became the first African American to take home the statue, revealed CNN.
