What Czech movie is nominated for the Oscars this year? / Jaky cesky film je nominovany na Oskara tento rok?

The Oscars are starting in about 4 months (22nd of January, 2009), so what Czech movie will be nominated this time? The Czech Film and Television Academy (CFTA) picked a movie directed by Petr Zelenka called “The Karamazovs“. It will be competing with other rivals such as the Slovakian movie “Blind loves”, French movie “In between walls”, the Italian ” Gomorra” and others. Ever since 1995 the CFTA recommended 13 movies to the Oscar Academy, from which “Zelary” and “Devided we fall” were partially successful, however only “Kolja” received the real-deal Oscar. The first Czechoslovak movie to win the Oscar was “The Shop on Main Street” in 1966. The sun smiled at us again 2 years later when Jiri Menzel received his golden statue for his “Closely watched trains”. And then there are, of course, the masterpieces of Milos Forman, for which he was nominated 4-times, but only 2 of his movies won him an Oscar: “One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (1976) and “Amadeus” (1985). So let’s se how we do this year!
