Baaria escluso dagli Oscar
Gennaio 20th, 2010
Nel complesso meccanismo di selezione delle nomination e poi dei vincitori dell’Oscar per il miglior film straniero i membri votanti hanno preselezionato 9 candidati. La sorpresa per noi italiani poco gradita è l’assenza di Baaria di Giuseppe Tornatore, che si è molto speso con un lungo periodo trascorso di là dall’oceano. La lotta sarà molto probabilmente fra Un profeta e Il nastro bianco.

Foreign Language Film nominations for 2009 are again being determined in two phases.
The Phase I committee, consisting of several hundred Los Angeles-based members, screened the 65 eligible films between mid-October and January 16. The group’s top six choices, augmented by three additional selections voted by the Academy’s Foreign Language Film Award Executive Committee, constitute the shortlist.
The shortlist will be winnowed down to the five nominees by specially invited committees in New York and Los Angeles. They will spend Friday, January 29, through Sunday, January 31, viewing three films each day and then casting their ballots.
The 82nd Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Tuesday, February 2, 2010, at 5:30 a.m. PT in the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2009 will be presented on Sunday, March 7, 2010, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.
