VENEZUELA EN EL OSCAR 2008

Oscar 2008:
Lista Completa Películas Habla No Inglesa
La Academia Americana de Cine ha presentado la lista oficial de los 63 países y sus respectivas películas propuestas que competirán finalmente para ser una de las 5 nominadas al Oscar a la Mejor Película de Habla no Inglesa.

Recordemos que el año pasado fueron 61, por los problemas con la finlandesa y hace 2 años 58, habiendo varios problemas también con la italiana entre otras. Este año de momento parece que no hay polémica y estas 63 películas conforman un nuevo record de candidatas.
Los nominados finales se darán a conocer el Martes 22 de Enero (a la intempestiva hora de las 5:30 de la mañana en Hollywood, más normal para nosotros, que serán las 14:30 de la tarde) y la 80ª Edición de los Premios Oscar tendrá su ceremonia final el Domingo 24 de Febrero de 2008.
