In this post-Oscar interview, Bong Joon Ho points out his translator is also a filmmaker, studied film in University and she's apparently writing a script. He flatters her in-front of the journalists and says he is curious about it, maybe directing it for her in the future. WHOLESOME.

Honest question, but do all international films qualify for best picture? Or do they have to be brought to American audiences to be in contention?
