loading parasite is the history making winner of the first foreign language film to win a best picture oscar, that was a year ago, how it's all change. notjust the industry itself impacted with how it makes movies, but also how we watch movies, but also how we watch movies, that's what's changed, the audiences have moved from not being in theatres, surrounded by screens like this, but at home, or netflix, amazon, streaming platforms. that change the ways we process these big budget movies. will it change the way people vote? we will find out. the members of the academy who have the voting rights, for the most, we think will have been watching them on small screens of of them have beautiful setups in big hollywood homes but it's not the same as a cinema, and if you think that one of the front runners, nomadland, it's visually beautiful, so many stark white scenes, wide vistas of the american west, i spent the whole thing thinking i want to see it on a really big screen and of course we can't. ~ , , �* , ., can't. when it is premier it's going to disney plus. — can't. when it is premier it's going to disney plus, in _ can't. when it is premier it's going to disney plus, in the _ can't. when it is premier it's going to disney plus, in the uk -
