Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board

Guido, the director of Tanghi Argentini, was interviewed bij the LA Times last week, so we were very curious to see the article... And now here it is... And he says only one sentence (and not even a very good one :-) Anyway, here it is... http://www.latimes.com/enterta....5.story I'm sorry if I am ...

I don't recall anything about Run Lola Run being the cause of any rules changes. It was submitterd and rejected for best foreign film consideration in 1998 but not nominated for anythign in 1999. Run Lola Run wasn't nominated for any Oscar in 1999 since it was ineligible (due to it being a foreign ...

Films nominated for the Best Foreign Language Oscar are ineligble the next year for the Oscars, even when they are released the next year. I know that in the 90's, the rule was even more strict: every film that was send in as an official foreign language entry was eniligible in future years, even w...

We talked about me going on stage, but my biggest fear is to stand there like a Rob Marshal - I don't know how Mr. Marshall felt back in 2003, but I would feel like an complete idiot...

Thank you all for the kind words :) Thanks Oscarguy for the tip, but I don't think the Academy will make the finalists officially known. Did they do so in the past? I hope they will, (I've seen a lot of short films this year, and many very good ones among them) (our short is called "Tanghi Arg...

I don't know if anyone around here remembers me, but I used to post daily on the UAADB, and I remember people like Big Magilla, Damien, Mister Tee, and Sonic Youth as friends I haven't spoken to, in a very long time.
