The Oscar race is coming to the home stretch, with the final nine possible nominees for Best Foreign Language Film being announced today including
Force Majeure, Leviathan, and the Polish film
Ida. Interestingly, some heavy-hitters like
Xavier Dolan‘s
Mommy and the
Marion Cotillard-starring
Two Days, One Night are not included on the list. Of course, all three of my favorites,
Borgman, The Raid 2, and
Nothing Bad Can Happen were not considered either.
Here’s the full list, which will be whittled down to five and announced on January 15th.
- Wild Tales (Argentina)
