Another Nigerian-Themed Movie Knocked Out From Oscars Over 'Too Much' English by Gistpeeps: 12:21pm On Nov 12, 2019 |
The Academy of Motion Pictures has rejected a second entry for next year's Oscar award for Best International Film. The Austrian movie, Joy, is about Nigerian sex-workers in Vienna, but the Academy says it has too much dialogue in English. Last week it turned down Nigeria's own submission, Lionheart, for the same reason. The film Joy, submitted by Austria, was just reviewed and is ineligible because only 33% of the dialogue is non-English," a statement from the Academy says. The movie was written and directed by Austrian filmmaker Sudabeh Mortezai. Renowned film director Ava DuVernay has faulted the Academy's decision saying, 'another one. How about letting countries submit the film they feel best represents its cinematic work in any given year? I’m really asking. There has to be a good reason for not. I want to understand, @TheAcademy. I know when the no English rule originated. But why? Please share'. https://mobile.twitter.com/ava/status/1193915041504022529 https://www.musikpluz.xyz/2019/11/Another-Nigerian-Themed-Movie-Knocked-Out-From-Oscars-Over-Too-Much-English.html |
