Just like Lionel Messi brought the third World Cup, whatRicardo Darin will bring the third Oscar statuette to Argentina? This Tuesday, January 24, we will know if Argentina, 1985by Santiago Mitre, starring Ricardo Darín and Peter Lanzani, is finally nominated for an Oscar in the best international film category.
It will be from 10:30 in the morning, and those in charge of announcing the candidates are the actors Riz Ahmed (the sound of metal) and Allison Williams (M3GAN). TNT recently gave the nominations live, but you can also follow the Hollywood Academy’s social networks (Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, for those who still have time) or on Oscar.com or Oscars.org.
The film on the trial of the military juntas was sent by the Argentine Film Academy. Of the 92 titles sent from as many countries, a preselection was made, the famous one short list or short list, of fifteen films. Y Argentina, 1985 past that cut.
If he reaches the nomination and is one of the five that will compete for the Hollywood Academy Award on Sunday March 12, he will be the eighth Argentinian production to apply in the category. Our country has won the award twice, on March 24, 1986, exactly 10 years after the coup that overthrew María Estela Martínez de Perón, when she won The official storyby Luis Puenzo.
And, closer in time, in 2010 it was The secret in their eyesby Juan José Campanella.
Other films that made it to the nomination but didn’t win the golden statuette, which is 34 centimeters tall and weighs 3.85 kilograms, were the trucea, by Sergio Renán, in the 1975 edition; Camillaby María Luisa Bemberg, in 1985; Tangoby the Spanish Carlos Saura, in 1999; The son of the bride, by Juan José Campanella, in 2002; and the last candidate so far was wild talesby Damián Szifron, in 2015.
For those who see clues in coincidences, the only Argentine film to win the Golden Globe -as now, Argentina, 1985– was The official storywho then, as we said, took the Oscar…
I choose to believe.
This year, as hasn’t happened in recent times, there are many good productions fighting to be among the five selected. One who appears to have his candidacy secured is No news at the frontthe German film by Edward Berger, a Netflix production, which even seems to compete in the most important category, that of the best film of the year, among other technical categories, as happened at the recent BAFTAs.
It would also be among the candidates Decision to leave, by the South Korean Park Chan-wook, with a detective who investigates a murder that took place in a small mountain village, and falls in love with the victim’s widow, who is also the main suspect. He has already won Best Director at Cannes, been nominated for a Golden Globe and was among the 5 best foreigners by the National Board of Review.
Another is close, by Lukas Dhont (Belgium), on the friendship between two thirteen-year-old boys, Leo and Remi, which suddenly ends. It has already won the Grand Prix at Cannes 2022, had 4 nominations at the European Film Academy Awards including film, won the National Board of Review (NBR) in the category and lost to Argentina, 1985 at the Golden Globe for best foreign film.
From Denmark, holy spider, by Ali Abbasi, which opens in Argentine theaters on Thursday 26 January, two days after the announcement of the nominations… It is about a journalist who travels to the Iranian holy city of Mashhad while investigating the serial murders of prostitutes by the calls a ” spider killer”, who believes he is cleaning the streets of sinners. In Cannes, she won the Best Actress Award for Zar Amir-Ebrahimi and got 4 nominations at the European Film Awards.
Hey, by the long-lived Polish Jerzy Skolimowski, follows a donkey who meets all kinds of people on his travels, as a vision of modern Europe through their eyes. It won the Jury Prize at Cannes, a European Film Awards and was also in the top 5 foreign films for NBR.
and if it stays corset, by the Austrian Marie Kreutzer, a fictional account of the last years of Empress Elisabeth of Austria? On Christmas Eve 1877, she turns 40 and officially considers herself an old lady and begins trying to maintain her public image. Vicky Krieps won Best Actress in Un Certain Regard, at Cannes and at the European Film Awards.
whatThe quiet girl Will it be the surprise and get the first nomination in history for Ireland?
These are the titles that play the most. In a few days we will know which ones are left.
Information for those who follow Tuesday’s nominations live: as in the best international film category, the titles are listed in alphabetical order of the countries, Argentina, 1985 should be named first. Unless they change, and they do it for the title, and then I’d be second after that All quiet on the western front (No news at the front)…
The other 22 elements
There are a total of 23 prizes in competition, and in addition to the one that most interests us, the one for best film is the one that most attracts the attention of viewers.
Some titles appear to be set, so they’ve already won or been nominated in this awards season that has just begun.
It is unlikely that they are not candidates The Fabelmansa film with autobiographical undertones by Steven Spielberg, the spirits of the islandby Martin McDonagh, with Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, as two friends who separate on an Irish island in the early 20th century: the latter can no longer tolerate the boredom of the former, and All everywhere at the same timefrom “The Daniels”, Daniel Scheinert and Dan Kwan.
Mashed potato, tarby Todd Field, for which Cate Blanchett will most likely win her fourth Oscar, for her composition of a troubled director.
And there are questions about how many sequel films will make it to the main nomination. Avatar: The Path of Water, by James Cameron, appears to be one. another might be Top Gun: nonconformist, with Tom Cruise. what happens if Black Panther: Wakanda Forever becomes the second Marvel Studios production to be nominated for an Oscar – the first was, in fact, Black Panther-?
Many are interested in knowing which films will have the most nominations. The presumptions would indicate that among the most voted in various fields there will be those already mentioned the spirits of the island, Everything everywhere and at the same time, No news at the front Y Elvisthe film by Baz Luhrmann, which also sounds like a candidate for best picture.
will remain The whaleby Darren Aronofsky, in which Brendan Fraser plays a gay teacher, estranged from his daughter, who fell into a deep depression, becoming overweight that even prevents him from leaving the house?
More options: Women who speakIndia RRR, The triangle of sadness Y Glass onion: a knife-edged mystery.
For Best Director, the five will come from the filmmakers of the aforementioned films. That would be Steven Spielberg (The Fabelmans), Martin McDonagh (the spirits of the island), the Daniels of All everywhere at the same timeTodd Field by tar and seeking to join the quintet are Ruben Ostlund (The triangle of sadness), Baz Luhrmann (Elvis) and Edward Berger (No news at the front).
Best Actress in a Leading Role would not come out of Cate Blanchett (tar), Michelle Yeoh (All everywhere at the same time), who are the favourites, plus Viola Davis (the woman king), Danielle Deadwyler (until), Ana de Armas (blonde) and Emma Thompson (Good luck Big Lion). We’ll have to see how they vote for Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans), both as the protagonist and as a supporting character. And the excellent Olivia Colman is always there, of course. light empire.
For Best Actor, the nominees would be Austin Butler (Elvis), Brendan Fraser (The whale), Colin Farrell (the spirits of the island), Bill Nighy (Living room) and as a fifth option I’m Hugh Jackman for Son and Tom Hanks for a grumpy neighborif some occult does not appear (hopefully it is Paul Mescal, per after sun).
There are awards that seem to have a master even before the nominations, such as an animated film (Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio), music (Justin Horwitz, per Babylon), supporting actor Ke Huy Quan (All everywhere at the same time), Original Screenplay (the spirits of the island)…
Let’s wait, so Tuesday January 24th at 10:30.
