I had an inkling that this year’s nominations could be even more international than in recent years, partly because of the L.A. wildfires which moved the Academy to extend the voting period twice and by nearly a week overall. It was indicative that voters in Los Angeles, where a lot of them live, might have been preoccupied. This said to me that the ever-growing international base of Oscar voters, not affected by the fires, might have more influence than ever before. There is no question that happened.
