If they can remake "Living in Bondage" and "Rattle snake" I am confident one will win the Oscars. Indomie generation will not understand what I just said. 2 Likes |

Nigeria has over 300 languages anyway and there is beauty in them. Have you listened to an Edo speak or an Igbo speak, beautiful sounds when a foreigner hears it. We should embrace ourselves more, our culture and values. Nigerians are always the first to buy expensive foreign products and stuffs but guess who is losing value - the brand Nigeria. I commend Oscar's for this, be original or go back to your villa. In fact no Nigerian film should send an entry next year if it isn't ready to be original and showcase the true culture and stories of our people. 2 Likes |

Problem with most of us is, we fail to read terms and conditions. We just assume we know it or we will find out along the way, which is not bad. But, what I find pungently annoying is, we trying to fault the system when we are being told the right thing. This category is for 'Best Foreign Language Film' and then renamed 'Best International Film', these should be films that are not English Language, for Christ's sake! Why not put your films in other categories you know you stand a chance and stop being cry babies over your ineptitude. 1 Like |

They should stop embarassing us with nonsense abeg.Its like begging for slots when you are not qulaified.Submit movies with local languages end of story. India was colonized by the british but their movies that have won over time have been done in their language and we all watch with rapt attention Geneivive and co should take note and stop arguing.It makes them look silly.

Local languages and pidgin it is then. They are subtly letting africans know they cant speak English more then the real owners. Start using pidgin and local languages add subtitles case solved. In all honesty, i have always thought these movies were unrealistic ,you see house helps who are supposed to be not too educated blasting English,its just unrealistic. 1 Like |

popsy2: I noticed that most Nigerian films made in our local languages are low-budget flicks with terrible translations. The reason is probably that they don't get the attention, hype and revenue that the English-themed movies get. So, I am guessing that the day an Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba movie is submitted to the Oscars, it will be disqualified at once. Unless they will start making films in our local languages with great budget in the hopes of snagging an Oscar plaque. 2 Likes |
