To @TheAcademy, You disqualified Nigeria’s first-ever submission for Best International Feature because its in English. But English is the official language of Nigeria. Are you barring this country from ever competing for an Oscar in its official language?https://www.thewrap.com/academy-disqualifies-nigerias-oscar-entry-lionheart/ …
