I don’t see what’s so bad about the reaction of Force Majeure director Ruben Ostlund when he learns his film hasn’t been nominated for the Best Foreign Language Feature Oscar. Are you going to tell me you wouldn’t register some kind of vocal disappointment if your film got the hook? Ostlund’s first reaction is to hug his producer, Erik Hemmendorff, and then let go with a kind of resigned and bitter cackle…what’s so bad about that? Okay, he loses it somewhat later on, but I’ll bet every losing contender reacts this way.
