If you'd like to read about the now official Oscar submissions for Best Foreign Language Film, click away. But because you -- make that we -- can't see most of the films, due to the hideous state of international distribution, let us use this Academy press release as an excuse to take a different view, a sexytime view... a Beauty Break if you will. Let's gawk at the actors and actresses who are in the submitted films. We'll pretend it's like a Miss Universe pageant (how do you say "shallow" in Finnish?). Randomly selected hotties follow (it's not easy to find info/photos.) whether you're into the men, the women or other. Don't judge!
Beauty Knows No Borders
I presume you'll let me know your very favorites in the comments. Do I presume too much?
Handsome Guys...

While I do not think that something as edgy or unusual as Giorgos Lanthimos' Dogtooth (pictured above) will make the 'final five' short list, but kudos to Greece for throwing it out there. Perhaps something like Tetsuya Nakashima's Confessions will make the cut despite its similarly unsettling subject matter. Either way, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences did put out a big release yesterday with all of their Foreign Language film submissions, 65 of them in total even Greenland, from various countries. Many of these films have reviews in our archives.

I have been keeping track of all of the Foreign Language Oscar submissions in my "The Contenders" section of the site and today the official list of sixty-five films from sixty-five countries was unveiled by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for consideration for the 83rd Academy Awards. On January 20, 2011 a shortlist of nine contenders will be announced prior to the naming of the nominees on January 25, 2011.
I have included the complete list directly below, which includes first-time entrants Ethiopia and Greenland. The only film that was originally thought to be under consideration, but didn't show up on the Academy's final list was Afghanistan's entry, Black Tulip, directed by Sonia Nassery Cole. IMDb doesn't list a release date for the film, which means it may not have met the release requirements in time.
I have linked each film to their corresponding IMDb page for those films not included...

Animate The World, London
Disney, Pixar and co might dominate the mainstream, but beyond Hollywood, many countries now have the technology to make up-to-date animated features with local flavour. In Japan, that means a riotous CGI kids' oddity like Yona Yona Penguin; for France, literary family fantasy Eleanor's Secret; and for Scandinavia, grim Orwellian sci-fi Metropia. As well as animation for all ages here, there are "live animation" performances from theatre group Paper Cinema and make-your-own workshops. Recommended for the grown-up are a focus on Czech genius Karel "Munchhausen" Zeman and Summer Wars, the latest from Mamoru Hosoda.
Barbican Screen, EC2, Sat to Thu
Birdemic/The Room, London
The gods of transcendently crap cinema must be toying with us. By some ironic fate, this Friday Londoners are offered not one but two of the greatest "trashterpieces" of recent times. At the Curzon, it's the UK premiere of Birdemic: Shock And Terror,...
