I ...Yeah, I think France will send Rust & Bone. I just wasn't sure whether Austria or Germany might try to send it instead, since both are listed in the production credits. One of the toughest parts for me in making the foreign language predictions is figuring out which countries have enough of a "stake" in each film to qualify to send it, especially as more and more films have multi-national backing.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-87051822767859654932012-05-29T11:41:18.357-07:002012-05-29T11:41:18.357-07:00I voted early and you're definitely on my ball...I voted early and you're definitely on my ballot, David :Druthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-34327029051756954122012-05-28T22:52:18.690-07:002012-05-28T22:52:18.690-07:00The thing is, and as past history has shown, Acade...The thing is, and as past history has shown, Academy voters don't seem to like the Palme d'Or winners very much, and they are already very familiar with 'Academy Award Winner' Marion Cotillard. So from a tactical standpoint if I was France, R&B is the film I would send.<br /><br />Also Haneke is Austrian. I'm not entirely sure of what the rules are, I do know that you can send a film that's set anywhere as long as it's not in English, but I'm not certain how much of the production and creative has to be from the originating country.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-69139127763044686142012-05-26T15:12:11.582-07:002012-05-26T15:12:11.582-07:00Rust and Bone makes sense to me as both a foreign ...Rust and Bone makes sense to me as both a foreign submission and possibly some recognition for Cotillard. I would have thought that Haneke's Amour would make it into the foreign race, but I'm unsure whether Germany will want to submit a film that is in French. Have they done that before?NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-8688469405521197402012-05-26T15:01:27.164-07:002012-05-26T15:01:27.164-07:00Cool.

I'm hoping to get my Avengers post up soon, and I'll be starting another round of predictions as soon as my Academy Members project gets through with the Z's (which will also conveniently be after all the Cannes films have been reviewed!)<br /><br />I think I have read a few of your music posts, but I don't really follow the music world that much.
