DannyKoice: I hope so too. Waiting weekly has one annoying itchy feel and longing attached to it. Especially for massive shows like GoT. That's why at times I just wait for at least 3 episodes out before I hook up. 1 Like 1 Share |

DannyKoice: Damn right bro, that's why I'm very ecstatic. Las Las na we go enjoy am. I noticed something, HBO Max will have the costliest subscription price out there, they pretty ballsy and confident of their brand and content. And the massive support from AT&T is very encouraging. |

oyaskii: How do you know they disqualified Lionheart. Have The Academy released the nomination list? Well I think I heard the criteria for that category had to have it's language mostly FOREIGN (not much English) for it to be considered. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 8:09am On Nov 05, 2019 |
abduleez1:it's been reported by various media outlet that they have disqualified it, it didn't even get to the nomination stage as the movies to be considered for nomination are to be screened by the panel from today. Well they did change the category from "best foreign film" to best international feature film to accommodate movie industries outside of the predominant ones. So saying the movie should be in a "foreign language" will put Nigerian movies out of it entirely because English is our primary language and also other smaller movie industries whose primary language is English... I am very sure the narrative would have been different if our primary language was Spanish orPortuguese |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 8:18am On Nov 05, 2019 |
oyaskii: Ooh, that's bad then. I really didn't consider Lionheart a contender though when all it's Academy jamboree was being spread. I rated King of Boys ahead of it. It was far superior. Probably didn't get much promotion as Lionheart did. Yea, if we were Spanish or Portuguese or even French it would have been favoured. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 8:31am On Nov 05, 2019 |
abduleez1:Exactly my point..never really caught up with the buzz of the movie i was just hoping it will get a fair hearing since it was considered. Re: King of Boys..Kemi Adetiba had the right idea, Cast and Props but the character development and plot delivery was all over the place. Sola Sobowale's performance was the shining light and yeah was a better movie slightly than Lion Heart...but Nollywood is not there yet. 1 Like |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 8:40am On Nov 05, 2019 |
oyaskii: Damn right bro. We are getting there gradually. Have you by any chance come across that film "Amina" which was hyped last year telling the story of Queen Amina of Zaria. I would love to watch it and see how far we've gone in cinematography, especially choreography for fight scenes. The initial trailer I watched back then looked promising and impressive for a Nollywood film. But it was sketchy and not much details. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 9:25am On Nov 05, 2019 |
abduleez1:No bro.. But i follow a Web animated series on youtube titled "Malika: Warrior Queen" by Youneek studios (Founded by Roy Okupe)loosely based on the Queen Amina Story and it's really good. Roy Okupe btw has created an entire comic universe of African heroes....my point been there are many independent filmmakers in Nigeria ready to do wonders but NO FUNDS!!...Aljeezera recently ran a story of some boys in the north that shot a short sci fi clip with just a phone..A Nigerian Filmmaker also won the best VR film titled "Daughters of Chibok" at the Venice film festival and CNN recently ran an expose on it...so this country is budding with talents in filmmaking but the way the country is set up it will be hard for them to make serious headway. |

oyaskii: There is nothing wrong with shooting our movies in pidgin, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa and any other Nigerian language. Yes, English is our official language, but do we all speak English in all the time in our every day interaction? The rule clearly stated more than 50% of foreign language other than English. Do you think Mokalik would have been Disqualified if nominate? Hell no. Those who want Oscar nomination should shoot their movie in indigenous language to stand a chance. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Andersonjr(m): 9:43am On Nov 05, 2019 |
abduleez1:Oh you haven't seen it yet? |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 9:47am On Nov 05, 2019 |
toluxe0075:Igbo language was heavily used in this movie as well and the director explained that why the movie entirety was not in Igbo was to bridge the cultural divide for a country as multi-culturally diverse as Nigeria..The laws did change this year from "Best foreign language film" to "Best international film feature" to avoid a scenario like this so the excuse of the movie " been in english" seems tacky and breaded with agenda. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by toluxe0075: 9:54am On Nov 05, 2019 |
oyaskii:Igbo was used 12 minutes of the entire movie. . They might have changed the name, but the rule seems to still stand.

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 10:07am On Nov 05, 2019 |
toluxe0075:Still don't think the treatment meted to it was fair all things consider ed, because that's the only category it had a real shot..imagine been a English based film competing against a Hollywood movie.. Well there are film awards within africa and Nigeria and i don't think they really need an oscar validation...Bollywood have filmfare awards and could care less about the oscars. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 10:12am On Nov 05, 2019 |
oyaskii: I don't follow or watch Nollywood, so naturally, I haven't seen Lionheart, so lemme ask, what's the ratio of English dialogue track to Igbo dialogue track? If the english language dialogue track has a higher ratio, then disqualifying Lionheart was the right decision. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 10:13am On Nov 05, 2019 |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 10:19am On Nov 05, 2019 |
DannyKoice:English dialogue track had a higher ratio but the Nigerian Oscar selection committee submitted the movie based " on suppose changed of laws" to include movie from movie industries outside of The Us, Europe or latin America and the "Best international film feature" category seemed like the only category the movie would fit into..so oscar disqualifying the movie was right but people are questioning the treatment of it. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 10:21am On Nov 05, 2019 |
oyaskii: You should direct your grievance to the idiots that selected an English Language film to represent Nigeria in a category that only allows a non-english language film. Na them fucked_ up, not the Academy. 1 Like |

DannyKoice:lol yes other movies were deserved it more but our Nigerian factor played in....medicore movie in all honesty btw. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 10:25am On Nov 05, 2019 |
oyaskii: From what I understand, "Best International feature film" is the new name for "Best foreign language film". So while the name might have changed, the rules are mostly the same, no? |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by abduleez1(m): 10:29am On Nov 05, 2019 |
DannyKoice: The English to indigenous Language ratio was like 85% : 15% That's why I was confused how it was heading for Foreign film consideration. The people wey submit am, their head no correct |
