Leila Afua Djansi Blast Nigerians For Expecting Lionheart To Win An Oscar by Freshgossip: 7:53pm On Nov 05, 2019
Ghanaian filmmaker blasts Nigerians over #lionheartthemovie Oscar disqualification, ‘Make films in your mother tongue not your colonial tongue’ she says.

Why are folks chastising the Academy? They have their rules. British films do not qualify for International film either because of English Language.
Oscars are American. Only their English films have that sole preserve. Deal with it.
Please go and create your own award, like the Brits did and include your films.

I personally like that we’re being forced to embrace our local dialects. Make films in your mother tongue, not your colonial tongue. The worst films are the ones where the actors don’t understand the subtext cos English is not their first language and yet they’ll be struggling to speak with American accent! Even the teacher teaching the English is substituting He for she, or teaching your kids English vowels with vernacular pronunciation.

What's her business?

Though, we already know LIONHEART isn't gonna win the Oscars award, it's just there to make up the numbers.

From the look of things, it's like this lady is beefing NOLLYWOOD

All the same, what's my own business

she said the bitter truth, we shouldn't hype their awards so much that they start feeling like gods, UK people created and awars for themselves and told the americans to go Bleep themselves. we always feel entitled to things that aren't ours, let africa organise it's own award and make it special, that is when they will realise they ain't shit.
