For the first time I can remember is I one hundred percent agree with Oscarsakademin. Two of today’s big filmkonstnärer is the focus for this year’s Oscars. It is absolutely amazing. Alfonso Cuaróns ”Roma”, last year by far the best film, got gratifying ten nominations and put themselves thus in several of the major categories like best picture and best director.
Yorgos Lanthimos sensationally funny and sharp kostymdrama ”The favourite”, american theatrical release on January 25, has received as many nominations. Two completely different movies, but both are characterized by a deeply original a film narrative with a clear, personal signature.

, which is characterised by a strongly female point of view, five skådespelarnomineringar each. Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira for ”Roma”. The hot trio Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone for ”The favourite”. I love them all.
A small compensation to the male-dominated Oscarsakademin, as so often, have not found any movie by a female director to nominate in one of the heavy-duty categories. Where I miss, above all, Debra Granik and ”Leave no trace”.
A reginominering to Pawel Pawlikowski for ”Cold war” sits, however, like a glove. His passionate and radiant beautiful kärleksmelodram in the cold war shadow, which is also nominated in the category best foreign language film, is another one of last year’s great movie experience. Among the best non-English language films are in all cases also a female director, Nadine Labaki, who made the powerful ”Capernaum”.
the filmfest manages to fix the right values, like any fun woman (think Kate McKinnon, please) can net Oscargala be a great opportunity to combine entertainment with genius and taste.
