    Why?
    Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you
  4. Each country can only nominate one film, and it has to come from a particular release period.

    LET THE RIGHT ONE IN came out after November in Norway, so it will be eligible for next year's selection.

    THE EDGE OF HEAVEN was Turkey's nomination in 2007, but it only started hitting cinemas this year.

    FLIGHT OF THE RED BALLOON was a film made with French money in France by a Taiwanese director. It was never going to be the one French film picked to represent a whole year in French cinema.

    Thanks!
    Too bad, I would have loved an Oscar for LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, one of the best films I watched in 2008.

  9. I can think of three possible answers to that:

    1. I was just testing you, of course.
    2. From this office in Australia, it's hard to tell the two apart.
    3. Sweden is indeed a beautiful country.

    And we're freezing at -7 F in Minnesota. Perhaps it's a little better off than our Scandinavian friends tongue

    It's quite mild here now but everything was frozen this last weekend, more like the "proper" kind of British winters I remember from when I was a kid.
