I thought they changed the name Foreign Language Movie to Best International Movie to stop shit like this I thought wrong. It still includes the rule that the film must have a predominately non-English dialogue track. It’s unfortunate. It does seem as though the best foreign film Oscar has and always will be the award for “best non-english film” Of course, after the news was announced, none other than Ava DuVernay led a Twitter protest against the ruling: “Are you banning this country from ever competing for an Oscar in its official language?” “Colonialism really is a bitch,” added Franklin Leonard, founder of the Black List. Regardless, Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” is going to win anyway. Right? Contribute Hire me
