No, it’s not the release date for ‘Curse of the Golden Flower’. It’s more likely the night this movie will be going home with Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Epic, Shakespearean undertones, China, Gong Li, Chow Yun Fat, Zhang Yimou, visually spectacular… it’s got all the elements. Check out the final trailers on Sony Pictures Classics:
Also looking forward to a slate of other great films including ‘Confessions of Pain’ with Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro, ‘Protege’ with Andy Lau, Ang Lee’s ‘Lust, Caution’, and Stephen Chow’s ‘Long River 7′… can’t wait!!!

Have you seen COTGF? HR and Variety really did not like it.

Despite HR and Variety, the cast, the spectacle, the pedigree of the director and producers and the fact that this will most likely be the nominee from China will give COTGF a good chance of taking home the Oscar. Especially since most of the voters of the Academy may not see all the foreign film nominees so recognition is key.
