Why was Lionheart disqualified from the Oscars?

  • Due to poor production

  • Due to its content

  • Due to the language

  • Due to lack of funding

Answer

Lionheart was disqualified from the Academy Awards due to its language. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has a strict policy against profanity, and the film contains several instances of vulgar language. The film's producers appealed the decision, but AMPAS upheld its ruling. This is not the first time that a film has been disqualified from the Oscars due to its language.
