Fingers and toes crossed. Yes it would be the first if it wins.
It’s still showing 4 times a day at the University theatre here. Impressive for a foreign film.
Both are very prestigious. But, the Academy Awards are US based, so as you say the international Cannes Film Festival offers a much larger range of awards to win than just Best Foreign Language. I am hoping to get a chance to see it before it leaves theatres. If it does get nominated I will look forward to the Oscars even more than I do now!! 😬

What the hell! I have no idea what I am writing that is “inappropriate” I thought it might be Academy Award, but no.

Let us hope it gets nominated. It would be a first for Korea. Even better if it wins the Academy Award.

I have no idea what was wrong with my initial statement. I only slightly rephrased and it worked. Sorry to spam like this….😑

I think the word f-I-r-s-t causes problems sometimes.

Interesting. I think it’s so funny what gets flagged. You can actually swear, but using certain innocuous words send it into a tizzy!

It might be to keep people from commenting f-i-r-s-t on posts. That’s the only thing I can think of.

Not just if it wins. Korea has never even been nominated! So here is hoping it even has a chance to compete!!!

I misunderstood sorry.
Korean films have more luck in Cannes than the Oscar with just one category to compete in.
