In the past, foreign films have been Oscar nominated for Best Picture. “Roma” – 2018, “Letters From Iwo Jima” – 2006, “Life Is Beautiful” – 1998 and “Grand Illusion” – 1938 are just a few of 12 that have been nominated for that prestigious award. But none had ever won. So even though, IMO it was the best movie I saw in 2019, I had no confidence that “Parasite” would have a snowballs chance in hell to win.

Maybe the Academy members read my comic. 🙂
