The category used to be Best Foreign Language Film, but apparently they haven't updated the rules to reflect the new category name.Lionheart, in which Nnaji also stars, is partially in the Igbo language of Nigeria. But it is mostly in English, which violates an Academy rule that entries in the category must have “a predominantly non-English dialogue track.”
The film had not been vetted by the Academy’s International Feature Film Award Executive Committee in advance of the Oct. 7 announcement of qualifying films but was recently viewed and determined not to qualify in a category that until this year was known as Best Foreign Language Film.

Disqualify foreign movie from Best International Feature Film category cuz they used too much English, which is their official language.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Just moronic.

Rule changes for more inclusion.
Isn't this like telling a painter what paint he/she is allowed to use?
I'm all for inclusion, but if I'm watching a movie about Vikings I don't need 30% of them to be black, Asian, or anything else so it's "fair". I want accuracy.

Well at least they put direct quotas on their racism.

OK, but I submit that NO MORE than 35% of their cast can be underrepresented groups.Films must meet at least two of four benchmarks. They include featuring actors from underrepresented groups in significant roles or accounting for at least 30% of the cast; similar criteria in terms of those working on the film behind the scenes; a significant commitment to paid apprenticeships, internships and career development; and significant representation among the teams devoted to marketing, publicity and distribution.

It's an unwinnable fight. Don't forget about the factory owner from a few years back who happened to be white and his work force, including managers, was 75% black, but still lost a race discrimination lawsuit in court.

Rock made a joke at Jada's expense. I did not know she had a medical condition that essentially made her shave her head. No idea if Rock knows or not.
Here's Will Smith right after Rock told the joke:
Here's him after apparently seeing his wife's reaction: And, of course, Twitter is praising it. Yay violence!

Right?
Although, I had always heard they had an open marriage, so her cheating confuses me. Can't cheat if it's allowed or was only he allowed?
Either way, this was not an awesome moment and the fact that so many people are cheering Smith on shows where our society is at...the fucking cellar. This scene will now be repeated in comedy clubs across the country as people offended by a joke now think it's ok to use violence on the comedian.
