But you\’re perhaps misremembering either its language or the criteria of the Best Foreign Language Film category.

Apologies for sounding rude.

This is a widespread misconception among people who haven\’t seen \”The Artist.\” While mostly dialogue-free, the film is English-language, and therefore cannot compete for Best Foreign Language Film. It is, however, a viable contender for a Best Picture nomination.

movie is historically accurate, I invite you to go to http://www.shakespeareidentified.com

His movie asserts that Oxford was Shakespeare, Oxford was the son of Queen Elizabeth, and Oxford and Elizabeth had a child (incest). All claims are historically accurate.

And isn\’t the cast mostly American apart from the two leads?

Regardless, I hope it\’s a big enough hit that some American studio throws $100 million at Havenicius and Dujardin so they can really go to town on a third OSS 117 movie.

I really hope Heseltine himself is not having a go at treading the boards in it anyway or those Oscars you\’re talking about probably won\’t be troubling the film.

For Academy purposes, it\’s a 100% English-language film, and therefore rightly ineligible for the foreign-language category.

I thought it was getting realised this year?

It will actually be interesting to see where the Academy slots this because technically speaking (and yes, I have seen the film) there is no \”language\” — it\’s silent with intertitles so it would come down to where the film was produced wouldn\’t it?

But you\’re probably right, it will gun for a Best Picture slot but with the new Academy rules, it will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Not to mention that you would be hard pressed to find a more successful debut feature than that film.
