Of Gods & Men is the big winner, the Oscars chose against the film in the foreign language category this year.  The share the love mentality extended to Polanski's The Ghost Writer-- all deserving in film editing and score; that film is tight and crisp as hell, with a lovely and eerie score by Alexandre Desplat (an Oscar hopeful for his less interesting music in The King's Speech.)  Olivier Assayas' epic Carlos got a little shout out, while Logorama was the short film choice, which was an Oscar winner last year.

Foreign film went to The Social Network...
