As the road to the Oscars continues its long journey, 65 countries across the globe have finally submitted the film that will represent their country and, if lucky enough, make it to the 83rd Annual Academy Awards ceremony. After the jump you will find a list of all the nominations along with their respective country and director.
In my opinion, Asia has a lot of solid contenders and could easily go far in this competition along with the submissions from France and Algeria. While I have not seen every flim on this list, I’m curious to see how far Greenland and Ethiopia go since this is the first time they have ever submitted a film into the competition.
