10. Best International Feature Film: Another Round

In the last few months Minari has been getting a lot of 'buzz' with its depiction of a South Korean family moving to America in the 1980s. However, there has been a lot of controversy about it being labelled as an 'international film' by the Golden Globes and thus ineligible to win Best Picture.

Despite containing a mixture of English and Korean, the Golden Globes stated that because at least 50% of the dialogue in Minari is non-English it would be qualified as 'international' despite other films such as Inglourious Basterds only containing 30% English dialogue and still being eligible for Best Picture. However, while this will act in Minari's favour as it will win the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film the Academy will more than likely not make this same mistake and nominate it for Best Picture instead of Best International Feature Film.

This whole debacle aside, the only foreign film which has gained much traction among awards ceremonies for 'international feature' is Denmark's entry: Another Round. This has attracted attention largely thanks to its main actor Mads Mikkelsen who alongside being a big Danish film star is Holywood's go-to-guy for villains whether it be torturing James Bond in Casino Royale or being the Marvel baddie of the week in Doctor Strange. Alongside its main actor Another Round has been met with critical acclaim for its tragicomedic examination of men's midlife crises and critiquing excessive alcohol consumption as a societal norm.
