"OSCAR HOPE?
Could Kings be Irish film’s great hope for an Oscar? The Irish Film and Television Academy has chosen Kings as Ireland's entry for Best Foreign Language Film at next year's Academy Awards. It is the first time an Irish-language movie has been entered in the Oscar race. The world premiere of Kings was at the Galway Film Fleah in July, and is out now in cinemas across Ireland. The American Academy announces their selection of five foreign language films on January 22nd, 2008."
