If we started being more subjective about the nominations, the whole debate every year would be where do you draw the line You'd end up with a system where anything a Canadian does anywhere counts as Canadian.

Marcelle has a very particular approach. Generally speaking, she goes for well-crafted, accessible movies. They're not obscure or esoteric. They're really some of the best that France and Quebec and other French-language territories have to offer. So, year after year, you go and most of the films are good. There is a level of confidence that develops.
