Oscars’ 9 Semi-finalists for Best Foreign Language Film Announced
January 14, 2009 by cd
From 65 entries from around the world, the 9 semi-finalists for the 2009 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film were announced.
The 9 foreign language movies are as follows:
The Baader Meinhof Complex (Germany)
The Class (France)
Departures (Japan)
Everlasting Moments (Sweden)
The Necessities of Life (Canada)
Revanche (Austria)
Tear This Heart Out (Mexico)
3 Monkeys (Turkey)
Waltz With Bashir (Israel)
Only 1 entry from Asia made it to the semi-finals this year, the film about death entitled “Departures” which is an entry from Japan.
In the recently concluded Golden Globe Awards, the 5 finalists were:
Waltz with Bashir (Israel)
The Baader Meinhof Complex (Germany)
Everlasting Moments (Sweden)
Gomorrah (Italy)
I’ve Loved You So Long (France)
Israel’s entry “Waltz with Bashir” won the Golden Globe this year. Can it duplicate the victory in the coming Oscars?
The Philippine entry “Ploning” starring Judy Ann Santos failed to make the cut.

1. ABS- CBN BROADCASTING NETWORK COMMERCIAL RATE IS HIGHER THAN ITS COMPETITOR GMA NETWORK
Source: UAE Today
According to Philippine Advertisers Association, the noontime block rate of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Network is costing 120, 000 Pesos per 10 seconds commercial load while GMA Network only rate 80, 000 Pesos per 10 seconds commercial.
The Primetime of ABS-CBN commercial block is worth 160,000 Pesos per 10 seconds while GMA is 120, 000 Pesos.
So, ABS-CBN is expensive than GMA because of its quality shows and at present advertisers do not rely on ratings because of some uncertainty of credibilty conducted by survey company.
The advertisers in the Philippines spent billion of pesos through print ad, radio and television.

hindi ko gus2 ang plonning nakakasawa at maraming nagsasabi(uneducated) daw si judy ann bakit daw yan pa ang pinadala.. nakakahiya ng bansa ito
hindi ako proud sa plonning kasi ibinasura man lang!!

i’m not a movie expert or anything, but i find Ploning ok.. the usual “art film”, medyo boring na nagpapakita lang ng takbo ng buhay sa isang lugar.. maganda naman pagkakagawa nung pelikula saka kung paano kwinento..
hindi naman sa hindi napili e pangit na yung movie..
January 17th, 2009 at 10:27 am
