It's been tough for superhero movies to gain the respect of Oscar voters. Of course a few of them have done well in technical categories (Suicide Squad won an Oscar last year, so take that you haters!!), rarely do they land in the major fields. Warner Bros. hopes Wonder Woman will change that. Earlier this year we learned they would be launching a major Best Picture and Best Director Academy Awards campaign for Patty Jenkins' film, but now we see they're going for a lot more.
The official "For Your Consideration" page for Wonder Woman is up, and Warner Bros. plans to submit it for 15 of 16 eligible categories, including Best Picture, Best Director for Jenkins, Best Actress for star Gal Gadot, Best Supporting Actor/Actress, and more. The full list is below:

It'll be very interesting to see how the film does, but right now it's simply too early to tell. This is certainly the right climate for Wonder Woman to pull off some surprise victories, and the film is universally beloved among critics and audiences. I wonder if the timing of Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, which reveals the character's racy origins, will hurt or help?
