Just got back from watching Once Upon in Anatolia, and thought it was brilliant. Not sure how it didn't get nominated for a Best Foreign Film Oscar; I suppose I'll have to watch the other films that did get nominated to comment, though.
On that note, having watched In Darkness, I wondered: how is it that certain artsy and slow-moving foreign films do get Oscar nominations, while films eligible for Best Picture tend to be overlooked? Are there different sets of voters that decide the two categories?
