City of God is a better film and Portuguese sounds more pleasant than Korean. It didn't even get nominated for Best Foreign Film

Why are there a lot of people who have seemingly only seen one non English language film and it's City of God?

Because City of God is babby's first foreign film.

yea, because when a foreign movie wins an award, it means that there's some kinda "SJW agenda" in place

I'm guessing the Cicada thing was autocorrect. Also City of God is Cidade de Deus in its home country

You can apply this to all of 'why is/isn't/are/aren't' questions when it comes to the Oscars.

Because the movie came out nearly 20 years ago. The makeup of the academy is probably more different now than it was then, and wasn't pushed as much as Parasite's team did with the movie.

City of God is one of the best movies I've seen, but saying "how come X got nominations when Y didn't?" - especially for something so far apart in time - is just incomparable whataboutism.

what about the fact that it didn't even get nominated for Best Foreign Film?
