Live Poll: Golden Globes 2020 — Best Motion Picture, Foreign Language

Golden Globes: Why 'Parasite,' 'The Farewell' and 'Pain & Glory' Weren't Nominated for Best Picture
The HFPA's rules stipulate that contenders in the best drama or comedy/musical categories must feature at least 50 percent of English dialogue.

'The Farewell' Deserves to Be Seen as an American Drama
Lulu Wang's film is nominated in the Foreign Language category at this year's Golden Globes. That choice undermines the diversity of the American audience.

Unraveling the Oscars’ Foreign-Language-Film Debate
The newly rebranded Best International Film award calls attention to how unfair the Academy’s rules are for filmmakers outside the U.S. and Europe.

Inside the Oscars’ Self-Inflicted Best Foreign-Language Film Headache
Take The Farewell for instance. The acclaimed indie drama follows an American-raised woman (Awkwafina) who travels to China in order to say goodbye to her terminally ill grandmother. Based on the real-life experiences of writer-director Lulu Wang, who is Chinese-American, The Farewell is told primarily in Mandarin with English subtitles, though its protagonist also speaks English. Though ineligible for Best International Feature Film at the Oscars because it's an American production, the title's also barred from competing for Best Musical/Comedy at the Golden Globes. Their rationale? It's a foreign-language film.

The original title of The Farewell is in English. No reason to include any other title.
