        It’s such a dumb rule. Just because a film is from an English-speaking country does NOT mean it will get the same amount of attention as American and British-made films!!!

        This happened for the film The Band’s Visit as well. It’s an Israeli film about an Egyptian band that finds itself in a dead-end Israeli town and they speak broken English to communicate because the Egyptians don’t speak Hebrew and the Israelis don’t speak Arabic. Its nomination was denied because a majority of the dialogue is in English.

          Didnt know about this so ty for sharing. Black film in film canon is abominable but at least this is a pattern they stick to!! Film industry’s consistent!

      Unrelated but I’ve always wondered: are you Nigerian? Your username seems Nigerian.
