1905 film news According to foreign media sources, Nigeria’s first Oscar for "Best International Film (original Best Foreign Language Film)" film "Lion Heart Girl" was suddenly disqualified, which triggered Dissatisfaction between the director and the Nigerian people.
The American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gave the reason for the disqualification: "Most of the dialogue in the 95-minute movie "Lion Heart Girl" is in English, and only 11 minutes in the local indigenous language."
"Lionheart Girl" director himself, Nnaji, said in a statement that "English is a bridge connecting more than 500 languages spoken in our country", questioning the Oscar rules of "foreign language films" without considering the actual situation.
