African Films Miss Out On 2017 Oscars Nomination by Shalombrain: 8:54am On Jan 27, 2017 |
Since Mauritania’s Timbuktu made the list of nominees for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2014, it’s been cricket sounds for African films at the Oscars. The nomination announcement yesterday saw no African film on the list of movies nominated for the Best Foreign Language film and we really don’t know why. Although the category is mostly dominated by European films (they’ve won 56 awards since 1947), several amazing movies have been produced by different African countries since 2014 and the absence of all those films is mildly disheartening. See a list of all the movies that have made the list below. 1969- Z (Algeria) Won 1975- Black & White In Colour (Ivory Coast) Won 1995- Days Of Glory (Algeria) 2004- Yesterday (South Africa) 2004- Tsotsi (South Africa) Won 2006- Days of Glory (Algeria) 2010- Outside the Law (Algeria) 2014- Timbuktu (Mauritania) http://abspad..com.ng/2017/01/african-films-miss-out-on-2017-oscars.html |
