Με 83 χώρες (αριθμός ρεκόρ) να υποβάλουν τις ταινίες τους για το ξενόγλωσσο βραβείο Όσκαρ, η επίσημη λίστα είναι πλέον έτοιμη!
Σε σχεδόν τρεις μήνες.., στις 15 Γενάρη θα ανακοινωθεί η τελική πεντάδα και όλοι ελπίζουμε ότι η ”Μικρά Αγγλία” το αριστούργημα του Παντελή Βούλγαρη θα είναι ανάμεσα τους!
Η 87η απονομή των βραβείων θα λάβει μέρος στις 22 Φεβρουαρίου!
Το Κόσοβο.. η Μάλτα, η Μαυριτανία και ο Παναμάς συμμετέχουν για πρώτη φορά στον θεσμό! Σε μια υπερβολικά παράτολμη εκτίμηση και επειδή πάντα μου άρεσε να τζογάρω θα έλεγα ότι ο Καναδάς με το ”Mommy” και η Ρωσία με το ”Leviathan” ίσως βρίσκονται ήδη ανάμεσα στην τελική πεντάδα πράγμα που κάνει το έργο της Ελληνικής υποβολής ακόμα δυσκολότερο! Ίδωμεν!!
