Rekordmånga länder har skickat in filmer till Oscarsgalan 2020

Det börjar dra ihop sig för galasäsongen. I år deltar hela 93 länder med sina långfilmer i kategorin Bästa internationella film (tidigare kallad Bästa icke-engelskspråkiga film). Bland annat deltar Ghana, Nigeria och Uzbekistan för första gången i år.

De största namnen på förhand är Bong Joon Ho, som representerar Sydkorea med skruvade thrillern "Parasit", och Pedro Almodovar förstås, aktuell med spanska "Smärta och ära". Skådespelaren Chiwetel Ejiofors långfilmsdebut "The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind" tävlar för Storbritannien.

Förutom Sveriges bidrag "And Then We Danced" syns en del svenskar i våra nordiska grannländers filmer. Danmark har skickat in "Hjärter Dam" med Gustav Lindh och Norge tävlar med "Ut och stjäla hästar" med Stellan Skarsgård.
