Oscar in the trash can once again....

This time last year, Scott Foundas at the LA Weekly launched a salvo at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' nine-film "shortlist" for the 2007 Foreign Language Film Oscar after it excluded Romanian director Cristian Mungiu's Cannes-winning abortion drama 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. He was right. He's at it again this year here after Matteo Garrone's neo-neo-realist mob movie Gomorrah got the snub. You can read my review of the film (published last October but new to the blog) below.
