Oh Wait, Actually Not.

So I saw this link saying “Jerusalema Selected For Oscars” and I thought “Wow, another local movie has been nominated. Could this be the South African film industy’s second Oscar after Tsotsi won best foreign film?”

But no, then I read the article and it just says that the movie has been one of three submitted on behalf of South Africa to the Oscar panel of judges. Considering the fact that we probably only made five movies this year, it of course means sweet f**k all.


So let’s boast about it once it actually makes it on to the list of nominees.

Otherwise, big wank.
