Oscar Race Finally Delivers Some Surprises, From ‘Jingle Jangle’ to Sia’s ‘Music’
original score, original song, makeup and hairstyling and visual effects, along with international feature, documentary and the three shorts categories — I would have guessed “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “Mank,” “Tenet” and a few others. I definitely would not have thought that Netflix’s holiday musical “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey” would have matched “Mank” with three shortlist spots — more than either “Chicago 7” or “Tenet.”And if told me that the Golden Globes would uncork one of their patented bizarro nominations in the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category, I would never have guessed that it would be Sia’s “Music,” because I was blissfully unaware of that film’s very existence.I’m no longer unaware.

Int’l Critics Line: Anna Smith On Serbia’s Oscar Entry ‘Dara Of Jasenovac’
The opening scene of Dara Of Jasenovac, Serbia’s submission to the International Feature Oscar race, gives a poignant hint of the horrors to come. The setting is rural Croatia in the 1940s. A large group of Serbian women and children are being marched to a train station by armed guards. Two Croatian women work in the fields, watching them fearfully, also cautious of their own fate. One catches the eye of a woman in the line who’s holding a baby, understanding her pleading look. With one small, sad, wordless nod, an infant is left with a stranger, his mother knowing that the alternative will likely be far worse.
