Disappointed that RRR didn't get more nominations. That was the best and most impressive movie I saw last year, and one of the most memorable movies I've seen in a while.

the academy sucks, sometimes.
I was wondering why it wasn't in the running for best international film, and then I read India didn't submit the film as its official pick for the category.

This isn’t a condemnation of India’s selection committee, but the entire structure of the International Feature Oscar. L
ast Film Show is probably more Oscar-friendly than RRR, but both could have made the shortlist if the “one country, one movie” rule wasn’t in place. There are countless international features worthy of award consideration, and assuming that each country only produces one of note is ridiculous. If the Best Picture category was allowed to double in size, why not Best International Feature?
