Non-English speaking talents

The 2020 Oscars and the

Parasite

raid are still fresh in our memories.

This 100% South Korean production left Hollywood with four trophies, including Best Director, Best International Film and Best Original Screenplay.

It was above all the first time that a non-English-speaking work received the statuette for best film.

Drive My Car

Japanese Ryūsuke Hamaguchi, will he meet the same fate?

All hopes are allowed to him because he is nominated in four categories: best film, best director, best screenplay and best international film.

Several other non-English-speaking feature films are among the nominations while talents are nominated for performances in non-English speaking roles.

The Spaniard Penelope Cruz is thus in the race for the Oscar for best actress for

Madres Paralelas

by her compatriot Pedro Almodovar – note that her husband Javier Bardem is named among the best actors for his performance, in English, in

Being The Ricardos

.

Norwegian Joachim Trier's film,

Julie (in 12 Chapters)

has the right to a citation among the original screenplays, in addition to its nomination for best international film.

Writing With Fire

, in Hindi, can claim the trophy for best documentary, as is

Flee

, by Dane Jonas Poher Rasmussen, also in the running for the prize for best animated feature film.

Ridley Scott snubbed

Every year, it's the same thing: the announcement of Oscar nominations leads to its share of disappointments.

For this edition, if there is one who must have it across the throat, it is Ridley Scott.

Two of his films,

The Last Duel

and

House of Gucci

came out last year… They don't appear anywhere on the Oscars starting line.

The two feature films could have claimed nominations in the queen categories and in particular greeted with a nomination the actresses Jodie Comer for the first city and Lady Gaga for the second.
