It was selected as the Austrian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards.[2][3] However, the film was disqualified in November 2019, with the Academy stating that the film had too much dialogue in English.[4] The filmmakers disputed the disqualification, arguing that when the parts of the dialogue in Nigerian Pidgin that are unintelligible to English speakers are counted separately from English, English constitutes less than 50% of the entire dialogue and thus the film should be eligible,[5] but the Academy stood by its initial decision.[6]
