Blue is the Warmest Color was getting rave reviews out of the festival, and maybe it will enter the Oscar race as France's Foreign Language entry? Inside Llewyn Davis starts its potential march to Oscars with the Grand Prix award, and rave reviews to back it. Finally, in the two acting categories, two potential Oscar contenders make a splash. Asghar Farhadi's last film A Separation went onto a win in the Foreign Language category and a nomination in Best Original Screenplay. His latest The Past got great reviews out of Cannes, and its star Berenice Bejo just won the Best Actress award. She is now a recognizable figure after her breakthrough performance (and Oscar nomination) in The Artist, and could easily be on the minds of Academy voters this year. Although I haven' t seen Nebraska, I really like the win for Bruce Dern, and with Payne's name behind him, he could definitely get into Best Actor. Will these contenders make a splash on this Oscar season? As always we'll have to wait and see.
