The Joker was a very dark, deep & powerful. A definite worthy. I was somewhat miffed that Parasite took both best foreign language & best film. Not fair, double dipping. One or the other. I have no problem with foreign language films vying for Best Pic, but then leave other choices for BFLF (or whatever they're calling it these days). From what I understand the Academy's zest for inclusiveness will complete the process of rendering it irrelevant anyway. So, who cares?
