RE: I only saw one of them ...

The general consensus seems to be that this is the worst of the nominated films. I sort of get the sociopolitical arguments for why it was selected and of course to attract younger people to tune into the Academy Awards.
There was a recent article in the Guardian as to why they feel it should win best picture (link below) and it's tough to argue subjective taste. If they feel the movie was wholly entertaining and significant in some manner then a case can be made for it.
I personally thought it was boring which to me nullifies the film from contention. Although I am not against a comedy or action film or even a horror film being up for best picture. Comedy always has trouble because comedy is highly subjective - Monty Python/Woody Allen etc.
So those usually split the votes enough to never have them win.
I watch all kinds of films - but Black Panther was no Deadpool 2 or Wonder Woman. And neither of these should be nominated. Though at least Celine Dion's "Ashes" fit the film perfectly and the music video was somewhat amusing that I was hoping it would get nominated for the song category.
