One Of These Nine Films Will Be Oscar's Best Foreign-Language Film
Oscar's short list for the Best Foreign Language Film has been narrowed to nine titles, a list heavily focused on Europe and including exactly zero titles from Asia. Which means, in a surprising move, Kim Ki-duk's Venice winner Pieta is out of the running. The final nomination list of five will be culled from these titles:

Amour - Michael Haneke - Austria
A Royal Affair - Nikolaj Arcel - Denmark
The Untouchables - Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano - France
The Deep - Baltasar Kormákur - Iceland
Kon-Tiki - Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg - Norway
Beyond the Hills - Cristian Mungiu - Romania
Sister - Ursula Meier - Switzerland
War Witch (Rebelle) - Kim Nguyen - Canada
No - Pablo Larraín - Chile

What do you think of the list? Any obvious omissions? Favorites you think should win? Other films you think actually will?
