MUMBAI: The nominations for the 80th edition of the Oscar Awards will be announced tomorrow 22 January 2008.

Nine films are competing for the five spots for foreign film. India's Eklavya failed to make the cut.

The contenders include Brazil's The Year My Parents Went on Vacation, Canada's Days of Darkness and Israel's Beaufort. No Asian film is present.

More important, however, is the question whether the show, which is scheduled for next month, will really take place or not. The telecast of the Golden Globes was cancelled this month on account of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike.
