Finlandization (Finnish: suomettuminen; Swedish: finlandisering; German: Finnlandisierung) is the process by which one powerful country strongly influences the policies of a smaller neighboring country, causing the smaller country to become like Finland was perceived by many in the West to be during the Cold War.

In other words, why celebrate the enemy?

Easy... watching movies puts my wife "in the mood"... It's a sacrifice I make, for the greater good! :)

It's entertainment, dude....

Why, don’t you want to celebrate the best entertainment vehicle products of the year?! Even artichoke growers, to take one example, have their yearly ceremony celebrating their bidnyz!
