Lee Isaac Chung’s “Minari” just got a big fat Christmas present from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, whose rules forced producers to submit the Korean immigrant drama in the Golden Globes foreign language category, an identical situation to Lulu Wang’s “The Farewell” at the 2020 Globes. Controversy erupted from Wang and others, because it means that the film will not compete for Best Motion Picture Drama, although its actors are eligible in acting categories.
So why is this a good thing?
Most Oscar voters have never heard of “Minari.” After the movie burst out of Sundance 2020 with rave reviews and the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award, A24 was juggling release options, knowing that despite all their best efforts, indie box office smash “The Farewell” ($17.7 million domestic) never landed an Oscar nomination, instead taking home Best Feature at the Independent Spirit Awards.

So there's this meme going around that Paolo tagged me with. So why not? The idea is that you list 15 directors, mainly off of the top of your head, that contributed to the way you experience and think about the movies. This is not a list of my all time favorites though half of the list would probably overlap. This is the list I come up with when I think briefly on the formative masterminds and/or the ones that have or had some sort of claim on my soul if you will. Three of them I could definitely live without at this point but I'm trying to be honest about the exercize.
