With a huge list of possible nominees, but none decided yet, this is a perfect opportunity for me to make more Predictions. So, from most likely to least, here are my predicted films to do well at the Oscars, that are Foreign Language.
1. A Separation (Iran)
Come on, it's foreign, but it's already considered one of the best films of all time. How can I NOT put this at number 1?
2. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (Turkey)
Not as popular as A Separation, but people say it's just as good.
3. Montevideo: God Bless You! (Serbia)
If something goes wrong with numbers 1 and 2, or the Oscars have biases towards those countries, this'll probably be the one to win.
4. Elite Squad: The Enemy Within (Brazil)
This would've been number 3, but the Oscars have biases towards action films and sequels.
5. Pina (Germany)
It's a documentary, but well received, and looks very artistic.
6. Bullhead (Belgium)
Well received, and like Elite Squad: The Enemy Within without the action, but with less popularity and good reviews.
7. Le Havre (Finland)
A safe film for the Oscar, something that would probably make a filler nomination or a shocking steal.
8. Tilt (Bulgaria)
A good story for the Academy to consider.
9. Black Bread (Spain)
Probably the last really popular and well received film.
10. Jose and Pilar (Portugal)
Not very popular, but extremely well received.
What movies do you think will be nominated or win the award?
A Separation is my most favorite movie of the year right now and i think it is a clear winner but you know Oscars are unpredictable but i really hope it wins. other movies i think have chance are Le Havre which is a strong contender as well as In Darkness, Monsieur Lazhar and Happy Happy.
ReplyDeleteIn Darkness and Happy Happy were definitely films I considered, and I really want Monsieur Lazhar to be nominated because it represents my own country, but I never heard much about it, whether is was good or not. I put Jose and Pilar there because I've seen several reviews for it, and every single one was very, very fond of the film, but if it starts getting less reception, I'll take it off.
