The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is picking on a county to protect its property. Under attack is the much-maligned state of Belgium. It seems that our quiet European cousins have been awarding their own Oscars (For Export) for the last few years. Nothing really to do with films and the Belgians claim the word Oscar means prize in French. Linguistics hasn't stopped the Oscar committee seeing red and we wait with baited breath to see the first occupation of a country by the US film community.
Children Please…
Belgium has its own Oscars
