However, those are categories that we almost always expect a big budget blockbuster to win. There also exists a very distinct possibility that Civil War could also garner one or two of the more high profile nominations as well, and possibly even win awards like Best Adapted Screenplay. I know, I know. Still, there's no question that Civil War was one of the most competently directed superhero films of all time, and the questions it raises about government overreach and individual rights have specific relevance to the world we currently live in. It undoubtedly would face very stiff competition in the Best Picture and Best Direction categories, but remember, if George Miller earned nods for his work on Mad Max: Fury Road, then we think that The Russos deserve similar recognition.
