France’s Oscar Committee Increases Size and Term Length After Last Year’s ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ Snub


France's Oscar committee has introduced key changes affecting the size of the group and term length of its members.

France ‘s Oscar committee, which selects the country’s submission for the best international film category, has introduced key changes affecting the size of the group and term length of its members. The news comes after France’s Oscar committee faced a fair amount of backlash last year over its submission of Tran Anh Hung’s “The Taste of Things” instead of Justine Triet’s “ Anatomy of a Fall,” which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival. In the end, “The Taste of Things” failed to score a best international feature nomination, and “Anatomy of a Fall” won the Oscar for original screenplay after receiving nods for best picture, director, actress for Sandra Hüller and film editing.
