One of the most critically acclaimed American films of 2020, Minari, has been classified a foreign-language film ahead of the Golden Globes.

If that sentence didn't make any sense to you, you're not alone. On Dec 22, Variety reported that Minari would not compete in the best picture categories at the Golden Globes because of its new foreign-language film status, sparking an outrage among champions of the award-winning family drama set in the United States.
