What a dumb thing yo say. I'm glad they aren't in charge of the oscars.

I guess they don’t want the Palme d’Or to lose significance now that the Oscars are willing to recognize international films

If EEAAO didn’t win it would’ve gone to Banshees or All Quiet on The Western Front. The Fabelmans was a fine movie. But it doesn’t advance the art form in any way the way the other films did

On one hand, I understand this idea. It kind of devalues other countries awards. Something like Shoplifters being Best Picture in Japan’s top awards still gets considered as less than because it wasn’t Oscars Best Picture. (Just creating an example here)

But I think the Oscars should be openly what it is— an American take on the best films. So if a movie like Roma or Parasite had that kind of impact in America, it should have that same impact on the American awards. It shouldn’t be considered as a fully international awards ceremony because it isn’t.

I actually agree.

In the sense that I think it's silly to think those very few times a foreign film wins it were the only times a movie made overseas was supposedly better that specific year. Not every great foreign film will get an American theatrical run or get noticed enough to be championed by critics come award season.

Why it’s the oscars, you would think the head of a film festival, would want everyone in film to get, a chance at recognition and praise for a job well done.

I presume he’s going to only allow french films,a chance of best picture award at canne.
