The list of foreign language films in contention for next year’s Academy Awards has been further whittled down.
Nine films have progressed to the next stage of voting in next year’s foreign language Oscar competition, selected from the 80 considered eligible. The list now includes The Brand New Testament (Belgium), Embrace of the Serpent (Colombia), A War (Denmark), The Fencer (Finland), Mustang (France), Labyrinth of Lies (Germany), Son of Saul (Hungary), Viva (Ireland) and Theeb (Jordan).
This means that A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting Existence, which won the Golden Lion at Venice last year, and Cannes hits Rams (Iceland) and The Assassin (Taiwan) have been eliminated.
This list will be narrowed to five official nominees, which will be announced along with the other category contenders on January 14t. The awards ceremony is scheduled for February. 28th.
