01 Encanto
COLOMBIA
Up for Best Animated Feature, Best Original Score and Best Song, Encanto tells the story of a family living in the Colombian mountains.
Protagonist Mirabel takes viewers on a journey filled with magical realism and rich Colombian culture. The film was inspired by the town of Barichara.
02 Don't Look Up
BOSTON
This star-studded film made major waves for its black humor and all-too-real allegories on climate change. Rather than premiering in theaters, the movie hit the small screen on Netflix. Now, it's a four-time Oscar nominee up for Best Picture, Best Original Score, Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing.
03 Belfast
NORTHERN IRELAND
This coming-of-age film written and directed by Kenneth Branagh details The Troubles from the perspective of 9-year-old Buddy, son of a working-class Ulster Protestant family. Shot in Northern Ireland where the conflict took place in real life, Belfast scooped up seven nominations this year, including the coveted Best Picture.
04 Parallel Mothers
MADRID
Leading lady Penélope Cruz could make history as the first Spanish woman to receive an Oscar for Best Actress, if she takes the award for her role as Janis (her second Best Actress nomination). The film, set in a Madrid hospital, is also up for Best Original Score for music by composer Alberto Iglesias.
