Broken Circle Breakdown
Indiewire will provide regular updates of our predictions for the 86th Academy Awards through March 2nd, when the winners are announced.
There were quite a few films that didn't even make it to finalist round of this category, including Saudi Arabia's "Wadjda, " Chile's "Gloria, " Iran's "The Past, " Australia's "The Rocket, " Canada's "Gabrielle, " Singapore's "Ilo Ilo" and Romania's "Child's Pose." And while that certainly made for a few disappointments, the final lineup is still a strong batch of contenders, with Denmark's "The Hunt, " Belgium's "The Broken Circle Breakdown" and Italy's "The Great Beauty" probably the trio most in, er, the hunt for Oscar.
