Film “Reinas” verpasst Nominierung für Ausland-Oscar
Original
Zurich producer Karl Spoerri, who co-produced the feature film Thelma – Revenge has never been sweeter, is also not among the candidates for an Oscar in March.
The Baldenweg siblings – Diego, Lionel and Nora – who composed the music for the Irish film In the Land of Saints and Sinners starring Liam Neeson, and Tim Fehlbaum, who is competing in several categories with his film September 5, are also not on the shortlist.
Among the nominated films are those from Germany (The Seed of the Sacred Fig), Italy (Vermiglio), Brazil (I’m Still Here), Latvia (Flow), Denmark (The Girl with the Needle), Senegal (Dahomey) and Ireland (Kneecap). France made it onto the shortlist with the musical film Emilia Pérez by director Jacques Audiard.
The Oscar nominations in all categories, with five candidates in each, will be announced on January 17. The 97th Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled for March 2, 2025.
