After the prominence of Argentina, 1985 in the previous awards, this year there will be no film from our country among the nominees. The Argentine candidate was “Los Delincuentes” by Rodrigo Moreno.
With the end of 2023, the pieces begin to be arranged for what will be the next delivery of the Oscars, the most important in the film industry. Despite having played a leading role this year with Argentina, 1985, Our country will not have a representative in the awards for the best of 2023.
This Thursday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scienceswhich organizes the award ceremony, revealed the “short list” of pre-nominated to 10 categorys. Among these is Best International Filmthe shortlist where Argentine films compete.
The list is made up of 15 films from different countries but unfortunately, Argentina did not qualify in these pre-nominations. Therefore, he is already out of the running to compete in the next Oscar Awards.
The film chosen by INCAA this year to represent us was Los Delincuentes by Rodrigo Moreno. It premiered in Argentina on October 26 and was well received at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
Among the pre-nominated, the Spanish one stands out “The Snow Society” which recounts the accident of the Flight 571 of the Uruguayan Air Force in the Andes mountain range in 1972. Also “Totem” of Mexico, as the representative of Latin America.
