The Spanish Academy has selected Pedro Almodovar’s “Pain and Glory” as its submission for the Best International Feature Film Academy Award, from what was seen by many as the country’s strongest group of candidates in years, including fellow Oscar-winning director Alejandro Amenabar’s Spanish Civil war-set drama “While at War” and Salvador Simo’s animated feature “Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles,” a Gkids pick-up for the U.S.
Almodovar is often considered a shoo-in to be selected for submission by the Spain’s Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences , with three films having been nominated for Oscars – “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown,” “Talk to Her” and “All About My Mother.” However, since winning a then-called Foreign-Language Feature Oscar in 1999 for “All About My Mother,” only three of his eight features have been selected by the Spain’s Academy with none receiving an eventual nomination.
