Even though it should be three chances for a nomination, two isn’t all that bad. I Nostri Ragazzi was overlooked, but Luigi Lo Cascio could end up on the stage with the Oscars for his role in Il Capitale Umano or for his part in what could be Belgium’s submission, Marina.
From director Stijn Coninx, nominated for an Oscar in this category back in 1992 with Daens, Marina is about Rocco Granata, an Italian singer who lived in Belgium in his youth.
I’ve pre-ordered my DVD of Marina from ibs.it, available October 7.
