Considering it was one of the few films on the short list to actually receive a relatively
robust American release (I gauge this basically by the fact that I was able to see it myself by going to a movie theater and buying a ticket in the same
year it is nominated), it seemed likely that Ruben Ostlund's
wonderfully weird little domestic drama was pretty close to a lock.
For twenty - five
years the company has wowed us with innovative technology and
wonderfully robust and inventive games, filling reservoirs of consumer goodwill in a way few other multinationals manage.
