Oscar hopes brighten up

Generally, only English-language films have always won the Oscars.

But in 2020, the Korean film Parasite, a non-English Golden Globe winner, won four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

‘RRR,’ which won awards from multiple Film Critics Associations in the US already, would be hoping to win the Golden Globes to march on to the Oscars.
