Golden Globe Foreign Film Panel
Sunday, January 11, 2015 at 5:40PM It's Golden Globes night. We'll start covering the red carpet arrivals in a half hour or so. If you missed our predictions those were here on the podcast.
A neat new tradition for the Golden Globes is this focus on their foreign film nominees -- they are the "Hollywood Foreign Press Association" after all. In this streamed event you can hear from FORCE MAJEURE's (Sweden) Ruben Ostlund, GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM's (Israel) Ronit Elkabetz & Shlomi Elkabetz, IDA's (Poland/Denmark), Pawel Pawlikowski, LEVIATHAN's (Russia) Andrey Zvyagintsev, and TANGERINES (Estonia) Zaza Urushadze. Interestingly enough -- it's not common -- four of the five Globe nominees this year (all but Gett) are still in the running for an Oscar nomination in the correlative category.

I love that they nominated "Gett" but am deeply saddened it fell off the Academy's list. It's one of my favorite films of 2014 and Ronit Elkabetz's performance in it is beyond extraordinary. I'll cross my fingers that she gets a Best Actress nomination next year when it's 2015 eligible...
I wasn't aware of this event, thanks for bringing it to my attention! I love that they made it a streamed event, thus giving a opportunity to get to know these films if you they are not in a theatre near you.
