Following up on yesterday’s item, I’ve added Albania, Argentina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Iceland, and Macedonia to the list and dedicated a page to collecting these. Up to 46 countries now.

China’s official submission is “Forever Enthralled” (AKA “Mei Lanfang”), Chen Kaige’s second attempt for Oscar since 93’s “Farewell My Concubine”.
Although I don’t personally love the movie (the first section is flawless, the rest are only passable), I do think my homeland made the right move by choosing this over “City of Life and Death”.

Israel is selecting her film today. “Lebanon” has 50% chance of winning.
