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...
