machwinters:Congratulations to Lee Isaac Chung on winning Best Foreign Language Film for Minari Despite being an American film, directed by an American director, and centered around a Korean-American family chasing the American Dream in rural Arkansas; the HFPA placed Minari in the foreign language category. This placement was due to the HFPA rule that movies who use 70% of foreign dialogue belong to that category. However, back in 2010, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds was allowed to compete in the Best Picture category. Both films used the same amount of foreign dialogue. -- source link
