Oscars 2019: 87 películas competirán por «la mejor película extranjera»

Comienza la guerra mundial por el Oscar a mejor película de habla no inglesa. Son 87 países los que van a participar en la contienda por la estatuilla dorada en la categoría de Mejor Película Extranjera. Todo esto para acceder al premio en la edición 91 de la entrega de los premios Oscar 2019, que se celebrará el próximo domingo 24 de febrero.

En la pasada entrega resultó ganadora la producción chilena Una Mujer Fantástica, dirigida por Sebastián Lelio. Esta vez, algunas de las favoritas para adquirir el galardón son Roma, del mexicano Alfonso Cuarón, El Ángel, del argentino Luis Ortega y Cold War, del polaco Paweł Pawlikowski. Esta será también la primera vez que los países africanos Níger y Malawi estarán participando por el codiciado premio de la Academia.

Todo indica que Netflix será también un gran participante ya que produjo Roma, de Alfonso Cuarón, que además de ser la gran favorita, le podría dar al servicio de streaming su primer gran premio fílmico internacional.
