Changes are coming?

There are problems with the selection process for the Best Foreign Film Oscar; this year Persepolis and Four Months, Three Weeks, and Two Days didn't make the final list. Surely the Academy could put together a multinational panel that could have the power to determine what films from what countries are considered. I don't agree with this blogger, who seems to suggest that a film's acquisition of U.S. distribution should cut against it. (Filmmaker)
