Chinese-American Film ‘the Farewell’ Rebukes Oscars Snub With Spirit Award Win1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteChinese-American film The Farewell delivered a rebuke to its Oscars snub at the Spirit Awards, as South Korea’s Parasite added a final burst of momentum to its much-hyped Academy Award challenge.
The awards, held on a beach outside Los Angeles a day before the Oscars, honour films with smaller budgets, and are often held up as an antidote to the Academy’s more mainstream – and less diverse – tastes.
The Farewell, about a family which reunites to visit a grandmother in China who doesn’t know she’s dying, won best picture, having missed out on any Oscars nominations.
