Nine foreign films on Oscars shortlist
2007-01-17
Pedro Almodovar's "Volver" was named among nine films which have been shortlisted ahead of nominations for the best foreign film prize at this year's Oscars. The veteran Spanish director's movie is one of the favorites for the Oscars prize but will have to wait until the January 23 Academy Award nomination announcement to discover whether or not it will make the final five. Other notable movies included on the shortlist released by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are Mexico's entry "Pan's Labyrinth", a fantasy from Guillermo Del Toro and Germany's "The Lives of Others". But a surprise omission was China's "Curse of the Golden Flower", Zhang Yimou's epic which had been tipped to vie for the top prize at the Oscars, which take place in Hollywood on February 25.
