CoolioD1 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 A Separation FTW! I'm pretty sure it's won every foreign award so far. Though knowing the Academy's history they'll go for the blandest, safest option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 It could also be Where Do We Go Now. That won People's Choice at Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Indeed, from what I've read about that it seems like a bland, safe choice so ts probably the frontrunner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travod Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 When they do speak, it's in English. Also all the props have English. It's also about Hollywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Really? I thought it was a French film too, just one that was getting really strong buzz. Was it French-made? But in English? I don't even want to see it to be honest. I said it before but I tend not to go for the "crowd pleasers".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoplant Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) The only one I've seen so far is A Seperation. I want to see Happy, Happy though. I think it's safe to say A Seperation will get a nomination at least. Edited December 7, 2011 by eggplant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even want to see it to be honest. I said it before but I tend not to go for the "crowd pleasers"..To qualify for the Foreign Language Film category, a film has to be a foreign production (as in not a U.S. company) and it has to be predominantly in a language other than English.The Artist satisifies the first requirement, but not the second, so France did not choose it as their submission for the category.
