India’s dreams of winning an Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category will not fulfill even this year as “Newton”, India’s official entry at the Oscars 2018, is out of the race.
Of the 92 films that had been in competition to win the Best foreign language film Oscar, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences shortlisted 9 films that will advance to the next round of voting. And, “Newton” couldn’t make it to the shortlist.
A Fantastic Woman (Chile), In the Fade (Germany), On Body and Soula (Hungary), Foxtrot (Israel), The Insult (Lebanon), Loveless (Russia), Felicite (Senegal), The Wound (South Africa) and The Square (Sweden) are the 9 films that made it to the shortlist. The Oscars ceremony will be held on March 4 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Mother India, Salaam Bombay! and Lagaan are the only Indian films that have so far made it to the final 5 in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the Academy Awards. However, none have won the award.
