Marco Bellocchio’s Mafia drama, based

on the real-life story of mob boss turned

informant Tommaso Buscetta, landed

European Film Award noms for best film,

director, actor and writing Nov. 9. The

pic is Italy’s entry for the international

feature film Oscar category.

Lionheart (Nigeria)/

Joy (Austria)

Both films were disqualified from the

international feature film race by the

Academy for being predominantly in

English. The decision sparked debates on

what constitutes an international film and

whether language is a fair measure.
