Amin,
I see the Golden Globes are tonight and Captain was not nominated unfortunately. Do the award shows go hand and hand which means it may not be up for an Oscar award either?
Not typically. For example, none of the Golden Globe nominees for foreign film last year were even nominated for an Oscar. Although it seems this year that there will be overlap. I think our biggest competitors are Italy, France, Israel, and maybe Germany this year.
