Korea selects Mother as foreign-language Oscar entry

A nomination for a Korean movie is a strict no no for Hollywood now.

Rationally speaking, an Oscar nomination eliminates the scope of an atrocious remake of the movie in question.

As long as Hollywood can pay homage to great Korean movies by making unequivocally detestable blunders in the name of remakes, why bother messing that up with the golden statuette?

Be it a rock or a grain of sand, in water they sink as the same.

Nominations aren't even out yet, how can you say it won't win...Let alone won't be nominated?

Granted, I haven't seen it, but it looks excellent. But it's a race between A Prophet and The White Ribbon...Nothing else will come close. By the trailer, it looks like a strong performance from the lead actress, I would have liked to see an unknown in the race for Best Actress, considering how weak this years' is.
