Oscars 2023: The South Korean Film Fans Think Was Snubbed
The official list of nominees for the 2023 Academy Awards, which will take place on March 12, has been announced. However, not everyone is happy with their Oscar picks. In fact, some fans think that a South Korean movie should get prestigious awards.
There were some surprising nominees at the 2023 Academy Awards
The nominations for the 2023 Academy Awards were announced on January 24. Many nominations are expected, but the fans have not seen any possibility.
For example, Ana de Armas was nominated for Best Actress for her role as Marilyn Monroe in Blonde . The movie was quite controversial. Monroe's depiction of life has been widely criticized. It also received eight nominations in the upcoming Razzies.
Another surprise nomination is Andrea Riseborough, who was nominated for Best Actress for her role in To Leslie . The film did not receive much attention upon its release. However, according to Collider, many influential Hollywood actors and producers were involved in a campaign to get Academy voters to vote for To Leslie .
Some viewers thought it might be a violation of the Oscars lobbyist rule. Others admit that behind-the-scenes pressure happens more often than is generally acknowledged. It is unclear what will happen to Roseborough's nomination.
Also, for the first time, this year's Academy Awards had more than a dozen nominees in all four acting categories. In fact, all of the Best Actor nominees are acting for the first time.
Fans Think a South Korean Movie Should Have Received an Academy Award Nomination
Following the huge success of Parasite , which won four awards at the 2020 Academy Awards, the world is paying close attention to South Korean cinema.
In 2022, The Decision to Leave made headlines after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Its director, Park Chan-woo, also won Best Director. The movie has since garnered rave reviews and was poised to receive an Academy Award nomination. Although he was shortlisted, he was ultimately not included in the official list of candidates. Some people are not satisfied with the alleged applause.
“I am surprised to see DECISION TO QUIT E was not nominated for Best International Film at the Academy Awards, a film that should have been nominated in multiple categories,” journalist and producer Pierce Conrad said in a tweet. "The awards campaign is a fickle animal."
