Hollywood surrenders to the Javis and 'La bola negra' already leaves as the favorite to everything at the Oscars

The Spanish film 'La bola negra,' directed by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, is being hailed as a potential major contender at the upcoming Oscars. According to predictions from the industry magazine Variety, the film could receive nominations in up to five categories, including Best Picture and Best International Feature Film. This would mark a significant achievement for Spanish cinema, potentially matching the number of Oscar nominations achieved by Pedro Almodóvar throughout his career. However, the Spanish Academy of Cinema will need to officially select the film to compete, with three pre-selected films announced on September 3rd and the final choice made by September 16th. The film, inspired by Federico García Lorca's unfinished novel and the play 'La piedra oscura,' explores interconnected lives across different time periods and features notable actors such as Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close.
