The US media also booed “I can’t understand” after subtracting major prize nominees for Golden Globe’Buttercup’

The American current affairs time pointed out that it is “strange” about the fact that the film’Minari’, directed by the Korean American-American director Jeong Isaac, was nominated for the Golden Globe Foreign Language Film Award.

On the 3rd (local time), just after the 78th Golden Globe Awards nominations were announced, the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association (the organizer of the awards ceremony) in an article entitled ’11 Strange Golden Globe Nominees-And What Should Be Nominated Instead’ HFPA)’s choice was “not even the epidemic that succumbed to the film industry last year,” he said, “there was a lot of clear and embarrassing neglect.

Time said, “‘Minari’ has not been awarded in any category other than the Foreign Language Film Awards. Director Jeong Isak’s exquisite and cool screenplay, which means veteran actor Yoon Yeo-jung’s brilliant and rough play, the family’s best role, did not get any nominations.” Said.

“‘Buttercup’ depicts a family struggling with aspirations in isolation in the central region of the United States,” stressing that “a unique American story with a big theme that Golden Globe has always embraced, such as family, generational history, pioneering spirit, and overcoming adversity.” I once again pinpointed the reason why this film was not able to win the award.

‘Buttercup’ is an American film produced by Hollywood star Brad Pitt’s film company Plan B and where director Jeong Isaac and lead and co-producer Stephen Yeon are Asian-Americans. Accordingly, he was nominated for a Foreign Language Film Award.

As this fact was announced on December 23, last year, controversy arose in Hollywood. Although mostly non-English lines,’Babel’, directed by white director Alejandro Gonzalez Inyaritu and starring Brad Pitt, won the Golden Globe Award, and the film’Basters:’ starring Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt under the same conditions. It is pointed out that’Tough Guys’ was nominated for the Best Picture Award, and last year,’Fairwell’ depicting a family of Chinese immigrants, followed by’Buttercup’ depicting Korean immigrants, has been criticized for being classified as racist against Asians.

At that time, filmmakers such as director Lulu Wang of the movie’Fairwell’ continued to point out, and the Washington Post also published criticism columns, but the organizers did not respond much. On the 3rd, Time criticized, “The fact that Golden Globe’s voting base is foreign journalists makes this rule strange.”

The LA Times, a daily newspaper in the United States, also compared Golden Globes with the Academy Awards, which won four awards, including a work award for’Parasite’ last year, in an article, saying, “‘Buttercup’ deserves better treatment than the outdated Golden Globe regulations.” Emphasized.

He also pointed out that “the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association, composed of 89 members covering Hollywood, failed to nominate’Buttercup’ additionally in the Screenwriter, Director, and Actor Awards (other than the Foreign Language Film Awards) in amazement and frivolity.”

The autobiographical family film ‘Minari’ by the second generation Korean Americans, directed by Isak Jeong, is the story of a family of Korean immigrants trying to build a farm in the Arkansas countryside. After receiving the first screening at the Sundance Film Festival in the United States in January of last year, he won the Jury Awards and Audience Awards. Won.

Of these, 20 are the supporting actors of Yoon Yeo-jung, the family’s maternal grandmother. In addition to this, Yoon Yeo-jung also received two awards at the Middleburg Film Festival and the New Mexico Critics Association’s Acting Ensemble Awards.

This is the first Korean film that won the Golden Globe award last year when’Parasite’ was nominated for the Foreign Language Film Award, Director Award, and Screenplay Award in three categories.

This year’s 78th awards ceremony will be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on the 28th.
