2008 Oscar Winners List – Foreign Language Film
And the Oscar Goes to:
The Counterfeiters
Austria
Directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Thank you very much. There have been some great Austrian filmmakers working here, thinking of Billy Wilder, Fred Zinnemann, Otto Preminger, most of them had to leave my country because of the Nazis, so it sort of makes sense that the first Austrian movie to win an Oscar is about the Nazis’ crimes. Making this movie, I had a most brilliant cast, a wonderful crew, the best of all families to support me at home, so actually, it was easy for me. Thank you very much.
ACADEMY AWARDS HISTORY
This is the second Academy Award nomination for Austria. Previous nominations were:
“38″ (1986) — Nominee, Foreign Language Film
FILM SYNOPSIS
In the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, a group of prisoners with skills ranging from finance to forgery are put to work under the direction of a master counterfeiter manufacturing perfect replicas of foreign bank notes. As the Nazis plot to cause the collapse of the U.S. and British economies by flooding their markets with false bills, some of the prisoners use delaying tactics to forestall the plan.
OK, now we’ve known The Counterfeiters won 2008 Oscars for the best Foreign Language Film. What do you think about it? Anything to say? How do you like it? Is it interesting?
