Dear Academy members, please throw a nomination at Radu Jude’s film. It would be about time to recognize Romanian cinema.

And a South Korean whilst they are at it, who will hopefully submit Burning, my favourite film of the year so far (but I have to admit I don’t see Burning gaining any traction with the Academy).

Colombia should submit ‘BIRDS OF PASSAGE’ (“Pájaros de verano”) directed by Oscar-nominated Ciro Guerra and Cristina Gallego.

It has great chances to get the nomination!

I really wonder what Turkey will submit. They have “The Wild Pear Tree”, which came up empty-handed from Cannes and then there is “Butterflies” which won the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. I haven’t seen the latter yet but the former is too long and somewhat boring for the Academy.
