Foreign films should win Oscars more often. There's plenty of great movies from around the world, and the Academy hardly ever recognizes them. Glad they got it right this time

[@sebastiancampo6414]

Well, they are the academy of US. all the other countries got their academy and some even award foreing films to

Yes they should

That's why I prefer Cannes.

[@dinasztie13]

Standing ovation for a screenplay award... rarely happens. :) Well-deserved.

[@ivanvecino9947]

Talk to Her is a masterpiece. Totally deserved.

[@kristizur08]

Almodovar se merece un oscar por cada película que realizo, y me quedo corta.

[@saturninaveloz]

Siiii tal cual!

[@adrianlengua7617]

Tremendo guión tenía Habla con ella, una de las mejores películas que he visto

[@truchipan]

uno de lo momentos más importantes del cine español. Que nadie lo pase por alto.

[@joannix]

One of my best if not the best film from Almodovar's.... I really loved Talk to her!!!!

[@bobbyaaassah1901]

wait, talk to her is original? i swear to god i thought it was based on something while watching, the story is just so well constructed and miraculously written. bravo pedro

[@mauromendoza4887]

Pedro Almodovar was nominated for "Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios" Best foreign film (lost to "Pelle the conqueror")... nominations for directing and original screeplay (won) for "Tallk to her"... and he won the oscar for the astonishing foreign film "All about my mother"... I really love it

[@65g4]

One of my favourite directors

[@65g4]

great screenplay and film and great director i just watched all about my mother for the first time and loved it found it very moving. Ive only seen 3 of his films but i want to see more

[@65g4]

Ive now seen 10 of his films

[@MontseAntares]

¡¡¡ Bravo Almodovar !!!

[@emiliobello2538]

He should have been nominated for Parallel Mothers. I hope more movies in Spanish get nominated for Best Original Screenplay

[@1997residente]

On my opinion,the best original screenplay award is the best one. Perhaps because I Want to be a Screen writer,but it's maybe because it's hard to write An original story.

[@pabl0coronel]

Almodóvar haciendo Historia...me acuerdo esa entrega.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

I hope Alfonso Cuaron wins this category someday

[@bigpapykane]

DONE!

[@ronaldososa]

Happy for Almodovar for winning for Talk to Her!!!! Enjoy the film (excluding the silent/black and white va-jay-jay scene). Other than that, a deserving win!!!!!

"Time's up, i'm sorry hehe"

[@serhanakaln6959]

guess, it wouldnt be too wrong if i am to proclaim him as the best spanish movie director. gracias amigo for all your lovely work.

[@kmanet4118]

After Luis Buñuel

[@leobergmiller873]

Sergio Coppola yeah I'd say a close second to Buñuel

[@1997residente]

I hope one day, a foreign language film (No matter what country) and it's director could win the best picture and the directing award.

[@pukeyourguts]

+1997residente the italian film Life Is Beautiful won best picture in 1999

[@1997residente]

No it didn't. It won best foreign language. Shakespeare in love won best picture and Steven Spielberg won best director.

[@pukeyourguts]

my mistake i was thinking of best actor

[@JackCoxx]

We may just get it this year with Roma.

[@isaganigimeno8867]

Roma have a big chance to win best picture and best director.

[@klausweasley]

Hello? "Bad Education" and "Volver" are both great films. The former most especially!

[@ralphvd84]

Should have been nominated for Foreign Language Film, and for Best Motion Piction of the Year as well.

One of the greatest Oscar wins ever.

[@supermariofan03]

cloroform_boss Exactly. So why not credit the director? It makes no fucking sense!

[@MuhammadAmir-rb3rg]

in case u guys didnt know. each country choose 1 best film from their country to compete for the category hence its for the country not director. the director is only there to accept the award. wikipedia : "It is accepted by the winning film's director, but is considered an award for the submitting country as a whole"

[@almich.r]

The first for original screenplay i guess

[@65g4]

1:20 This is not the first Oscar for Pedro Almodóvar. He won Best foreign film for “Todo sobre mi madre” three years before this one.

[@raultorres7284]

I love that Pedro immediately kissed Mira Sorvino! (Like he was expecting the kiss lol). Love it!

[@Winduct]

I find it rather offensive that a film like ''My Big Fat Greek Wedding'' was nominated in this category instead of Hayao Miyazaki for ''Spirited Away''. Obviously, not all of these were the 5 best screenplays of the year but Almodovar definitely deserved it.

[@Ian.D.]

It's criminal that Hable con Ella didn't win the Goya for Best Picture in 2002 and couldn't represent Spain for Best Foreign Film. Much more when you watch the film it lost to (Los Lunes al Sol). Surely it would have won two oscars.

[@richfictionfighter]

Why wasn't Alexander Payne nominated that year for About Schmidt? He won the Golden Globe and Writers' Guild of America award that year.

[@sultankhalid5139]

Could you please upload the following Original Screenplay wins .. Fargo, The Crying Game, and Thelma & Louise + It would be great if we can see The Sting, The Terms of Endearment, Amadeus, and The Last Emperor winning for best Directing.

[@adolfoalbornoz3730]

I haven't watched "talk to her" but I think "and your mother too" (y tu mama tambien) has a great screenplay no doubt (both movies are spoken in spanish). no he visto "hable con ella" pero creo que "y tu mama tambien" tiene un gran guion sin duda alguna (ambas peliculas estan habladas en español)

[@gabbieruiz5452]

Y tu mama tambien was trash compared to talk to her, had no chance.. Cuaron did much better later on.. and i am proudly mexican, i love Cuaron, but Almodovar here was the absolut winner in my opinion..

For me that is, Almodovar has completely lost his touch after this movie. "Bad Education" was promising but fell flat, and "Volver" was mediocre. Of course, those were slightly better than his latest shitty films ("The Skin I Live In", "I'm So Excited")...
