| Oscar Nominations 2020 |
Most of the films qualifying in the main categories were screened in theaters in Los Angeles and New York in 2019. Looking back, the year 2019 will be remembered as one of the most uneven years in recent history. Optimistically thinking, with more productions directed by women and other communities, we will start seeing the #OscarsSoWhite like something from the past.
Many new Hollywood productions are oriented to close "the gender gap." The producers are also looking up for more "diversity and inclusion."
In the mid-time, we can relax, sit back and enjoy the admirable works that so many talented people in the industry brought us and who deserve recognition by the members of the Academy.
"Parasite" with six nods is the 11th non-English Best Picture nominee. Therefore, it did not break the record of more nominations for a foreign film like "Roma" had last year with 10 or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also with 10 nominations for a non-English film in the year 2000.
"Pain and Glory" has two, Antonio Banderas for the best actor and Spain for the best international feature.
"Honeyland" from North Macedonia opened in theaters mid-July, and it has two nominations, for best international feature film and for best documentary feature.
Once again, no women were nominated for the best director, but more women were nominated in other essential categories as best picture producers, writers, and music composers.
