Almost nothing is missing. Today, Tuesday January 24, is the day when the announcement of the nominations for the Oscar, the Hollywood Academy Award and Argentina, 1985 appears likely to be among the five chosen to compete in the best international film.
Actors Riz Ahmed (the sound of metal) and Allison Williams (the recent M3GAN, Girls) will be in charge of announcing the nominations in the 23 categories. They will do so from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles, and can be seen live and directed worldwide.
It will be from 10.30, Argentina time. The nomination readout for the 95th Academy Awards is viewable online via YouTube on the ABC News channel. You can also follow the nominations live on the Hollywood Academy’s Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter accounts.
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 pre-selection was made, the famous short list, of fifteen films. And Argentina, 1985, passed that cut.
If he reaches the nomination and is one of the five competing for the Hollywood Academy Award on Sunday March 12, he will be the eighth Argentinean 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 Truceby 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.
When is the delivery
For its part, the 2023 Oscars gala will be held next Sunday, March 12. We already know who will be the presenter: it will be comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who has already done so on other occasions, and has also become popular internationally thanks to his television program Jimmy Kimmel Live! on the ABC network.
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.
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.
