Oscar foreign-language shortlist scheduled for Jan. 2 reveal
The nine foreign-language films on the shortlist for Oscar nominations this winter are scheduled to be revealed Jan. 2, according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
That shortlist will be determined after the so-called Phase I committee views the 71 eligible films. Then, the nine semifinalists will be screened from Jan. 4-6 — three films per day — for the Phase II committee, which will determine the five nominees that will be announced Jan. 10.
The Jan. 3 voting deadline for Oscar nominations does not apply to the foreign-language category.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
