South Korea's Oscar entry

An obvious choice, but South Korea has now officially selected Parasite as its entry for next year's Oscars. I am fairly confident that it will finally win the country its long-overdue first nomination, and a win is very possible - it's such a widely loved crowdpleaser, Palme d'or winner and doing big box office in this territories where it has already been released (here in Singapore it's been in cinemas for a couple of months).

It'll be interesting to watch how it does on US release, and how it fares in the early awards voting... if it does well in the critics awards at the end of the year it could actually help it into more categories than merely the 'foreign language' ghetto.
