It's a damning indictment on the Oscars - and a sign, as if it were needed, of their overall irrelevance - that Asian cinema has been treated so poorly, particularly in recent years with the growing stature of South Korean filmmaking - SK cinema has not received a single nomination in any category to date. Hopefully Parasite will help to break down the wall...

I hope to this this get a few nominations. It really deserves it. It's sad that South Korea hasn't had any nominations because they've got some talented directors. K-pop sucks though.

Amen!

As much as the Academy likes to pretend that the Oscars are the WORLD film awards, that is simply not true. The Oscars are Hollywood's awards, with a few token nominations and prizes given to other countries' film industries just to keep the pretense going.
shareWhat a stupid statement
shareMy upper middle class music teacher had a wooden baton and a nice, shiny telescoping baton when we would practice. If we were off that day, then he'd switch to the wooden baton because if he got mad at us for making too many mistakes, he would slam it down on his music stand and a few times it broke. Anyway, my point is he would yell at us, "Suffer!" when we had to play a piece or stanza over and over again. There really wasn't any lesson in him yelling, "Suffer!" except to he being the sadist. It wasn't to inspire us to practice more on our own or anything like that.
That's my reply to your post. Suffer! It ain't gonna win. Maybe it'll win some international award. I was surprised at the quality when I found out the budget was only $11 million. Out of all the Cannes winners only 16 won any kind of Oscar. I don't think any won Best Picture if that's what you're getting at.
