In the United States, criticism continues when’Minari’, a movie about the family story of Korean immigrants, was nominated for the’Foreign Language Film Award’ in the 78th Golden Globe Award nominations for his predominantly speaking Korean.

The New York Times emphasized that the film was shot in the United States by an American director, funded by an American company, and focused on immigrant families pursuing the American Dream.

He then pointed out that such a film became a nomination for a foreign language film that could not be targeted for a’work award’, making the appearance of the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association, which is in charge of the Golden Globe, funny.

Online media’The Insider’ twisted Golden Globe’s double attitude.

The category that was placed in the nominations was the Foreign Language Film Awards, but it was written as’American Film’ on the list.

Although 70% of the movies weren’t English, I also cited the case of’Basterz: The Rough Guys’, who was nominated for the’Artwork Award’ in 2010.

The current affairs weekly magazine Time wrote in Golden Globes hosted by foreign journalists saying that the rules that made it impossible for films where English is not the main language to target the awards were strange.

The controversy extends to racial discrimination.

It was mentioned that the Chinese-American director Lulu Wang’s’Fairwell’ before’Buttercup’ was also nominated for a foreign language film last year for the same reason.

Director Lulu Wang pointed out, “I haven’t seen movies like American movies like’Buttercups’ this year, and only use English to get rid of the old frame that defines’American’ movies.”

Along with this, entertainment magazine Entertainment even expressed that the award was’stealed’, saying, “Yoon Yeo-jung, who was considered as a prominent candidate for the Best Supporting Actress Award, fell for Jodie Foster’s surprise nomination.”
