A third option would be to ban the foreign language category altogether and just treat everything as a movie.

I like that idea.

Yes, non-English language films would disadvantaged, but that seems fair enough as the Academy Awards are a US ceremony. Same as English-language movies would be disadvantaged in Korea, or France, etc. So long as all national award-giving adhered to the same rule.

Incidentally, I think Parasite is the best Oscar Best Film winner since the 1970s and I am glad the jury showed some guts at last (Green Book! Really?).

Good Point - and PARASITE and the success of THE ARTIST a while back are really encouraging that this might be the way to go soon. I'll take your rec - or more accurately rave - on PARASITE and bump it to the top of my list. Not seen GREEN BOOK but it didn't look like my kinda film.
