Deepa Mehta's Water has been selected as Canada's selection.
I'm thoroughly confused. It's a Hindi-language film. Wouldn't the Academy disqualify this?

What I mean Sonic is exactly what you just did in your second post. You ignored a great majority of what was said and then tried to make a point off a minor aspect of the entire post. Um, my first post was a response to Okri, not you. I didn't deliberately ignore anyone. Rather, I deliberately answ...

I'm a bit surprised that people are considering this a comeback for Affleck. And come back from what? Or to what? It's not a comeback to good films - after all, Hollywoodland as only gotten the mildest of praise, and most critics seemed indifferent at best. It's not gonna be a box office hit. Hear,...

Matthews is also quite confused about the prospects of a spanish-language film becoming an Oscar nominee. He even suggests two could be. I don't know if he realizes that the likelihood of that is 1 in a million. Volver maybe but where did Pan's Labyrinth come from? I've heard no talk of it. This is...
