So my dear friends, I am truely sorry that we have no actors like Omar Al-Sherif anymore....who I sort of disliked recently, but yet, he went out and became one hell of a man, but no one knew where he is from, because there was no one...to support him.

There are 63 films competing for 5 nominations. There are 3 arab entries, caramel, and egyptian film and an iraqi film too. Let's keep our fingers crossed. lina, caramel has actually been submitted as lebanon’s official entry to the foreign film category. There are 63 films competing for 5 nominations.

Im suprised that American Ganster is out in Jordan already. It opens this Friday in the states!!! Based off your Rendition review you probably wont forgive the filmaker for "The Kingdom" too. Have u seen it? Did I miss that review? These are all on my list to see. Im suprised that American Ganster is out in Jordan already. It opens this Friday in the states!!!

Aren't you planning on watching Nadina Labaki's "Caramel"? word out there is that it's applying for the Oscar foreign film nominations.
