Belgium has submitted Close as its entry. https://www.screendaily.com/news/lukas-dhonts-close-selected-as-belgiums-oscar-entry/5174576.article

So excited to see this. It’ll compliment Banshees of Inisherin nicely lol.

I wonder what’ll be the Lunana of the year.

I just love movies. And awards.

India selects Chhello Show, instead of RRR.

I am an Indian myself, so this news is extremely disappointing. We had a golden hen in our hand in form of RRR but the committee is up their ass when it comes to furthering their own propaganda – that they can’t see rationale beyond it. First Lunchbox and now RRR! Sigh

Ridiculous. RRR would have been a lock for the nomination.

I think the final five nominations will look something like this—

Close (Belgium) *
Corsage (Austria)
EO (Poland)
Decision To Leave (South Korea)
Bardo (Mexico)

(With a longlist of)—
Holy Spider (Denmark)
Saint Omer (France)
Klondike (Ukraine)
Alcarras (Spain)
World War III (Iran)

EDIT: WAIT! Is the longlist 15 again? Forgot about that. If so, adding these:
Eternal Spring (Canada)
Argentina, 1985 (Argentina)
Utama (Bolivia)
… and, two more… (maybe Pakistan’s Joyland?)

I’m not sold on Close winning (I haven’t even seen it), but I think it’s the frontrunner at this point. I think there’s going to be a solid selection this year that’ll result in an even competition.

Surprised Iceland didn’t go with Godland.

Corsage giving In the Fade, The Good Boss, I’m Your Man, etc.

Whenever there’s an international film that stars a recognizable actor from American cinema, the branch tends to pass over it.

It makes sense. Why would the film need the extra push from the Academy if it already has a built-in marketing tool?

I see that, definitely. Could be a similar situation.

Keep in mind Another Round, Pain & Glory, and The Square were all nominated in recent years too. Albeit bigger films, they also had some heavy top-billing.

I think the difference is those films were already competing for several ATL categories.

Vicky Krieps isn’t much of a factor in Best Actress this year, but a Costume Design nomination for Corsage isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
