cheesy

We had better movies like

King of Boys
Gold statue
and so on

But Politics and Inferiority is killing us
Year in out the Indians drop 70% speaking movie for Oscar award they don't reject it

But we want to tell the white we don't have Culture

Do a movie in your mothers tongue and be Proud of the shii no we won't we will forming English speaking Bullshít


Well also need to appreciate our own awards like the AMAA awards and others before stuff like this Will stop
if the English wasn’t in that movie it wouldn’t have sold half the copy it did, and the fame wouldn’t have been there, Bleep the oscars , sales matters most first.

Always find out facts. It was not because of the quality. They needed the language to be like 90% of Igbo . To them it was an english film and not purely igbo.

What's ur measuring standard? Each movie falls into a particular category and I can tell u 'jahotically' that it's ocasr grade for its own category. Do u expect 'Hobbs and Shaw' from and African movie before it will be Oscar grade? I don't think so. We tell our story as Africans.

he Academy Award for Best International Feature Film (given as Best Foreign Language Film prior to 2020) is one of the Academy Awards handed out annually by the U.S.-based Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). It is given to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States with a predominantly non-English dialogue track. but lionheart is predominantly English i think those who nominated lionheart dont know the rules
Re: Shehu Sani Reacts To Disqualification Of 'Lionheart' By Oscar by Nobody: 12:53pm On Nov 05, 2019
Lion heart is not worth Oscar nomination

You guys seriously need to stop making issues out of this.

The award category requires that shortlisted movies must be in indigenous language apart from English.

In any event that it has English dialogue, the indigenous language must form an indisputable majority.

Lion Hear did not.

I remember that another famous producer once suffered a similar fate.
Thank you for clarifying this for me. I was looking for a post that would make sense n help me understand the situation n yours did... thanks

The movie was just too basic to even be nominated for an OSCAR.
y I concur, no intrigue, story line was extremely predictable. Long and short of the story, she tries to save a transport company drowning in debt.

in that category , they are considering the movies from locally made especially in other languages ,

but I think they have to consider other local countries that has English as first language which Nigeria belongs to
UK movies were disqualified years ago except those done in welsh local language. Why should the rule be bent for Nigeria when we have local languages we can use, we can even use pigin.

Emotions everywhere... I think most guys are only trying to console Jenny, and I really feel their pain...

Otherwise, Id ask:
Was the law in place before they submitted their entry?
Is KingofHeart the first movie to be disqualified because of the rule?
Were the producers aware of the rule?
Should the rule be changed because of KingofHeart?

English is not our first language. It is actually our second language.

Your first language is your native language. I am Yoruba so Yoruba is my first language.

There are foreign countries where English is a first language, but many developing countries have their native languages.

Lionheart was not eligible in the first place. The award did not say English should not be used, but that the native language should be predominant. In the case of Lionheart, English was predominant.



Speak for yourself. Fir some Nigerians. English is their mother tongue and the only language of communication they know. There are some Yorubas who will not understand a word of Yoruba, so how will that be their first language?
