In the 95th edition of the Oscar Awards 2023, “Argentina, 1985”movie directed by Santiago Miter and starring Ricardo Darin and Peter Lanzanicompeted for best international film. They were the Spanish actor Antonio Banderas and the mexican actress Salma Hayek who presented the shortlist and announced that the German feature film “No news at the front” was the category winner.
This way, “Argentina, 1985”who had won the Golden Globe, was left without the expected statuette that they had already won “The official story” and “The secret of your eyes” among the eight times that Argentine films were nominated.
Hayek did not hide his disappointment when he saw that the Argentine film had not been chosen for the award. In the preview, both actors admitted that the albiceleste production was their favorite and they said that they had practiced some words, such as the director’s last name, so that it would not sound bad.
Even days before, Hayek had posted on his Instagram: “The Oscars are on Sunday and I want to wish good luck to the incredible film Argentina, 1985, which is the only Latin American film nominated. congratulations to my friends Victoria Alonso, Ricardo Darin and the whole team!”
I stop despite the disappointment, the director Santiago Miter and his partner, the actress Dolores Fonzi, they took it with humor, and together with the producer of the film Axel Kuschevatzky , they were photographed with their two fingers in the shape of an “L” on their foreheads. A world symbol of the word Loser (loser), which although it describes what happened at the Oscars, does not reflect the successful trajectory that “Argentina, 1985” had throughout its journey at festivals and awards.
“Thank you for so much love, so much passion and for letting us tell such a wonderful, relevant story and, above all, ours,” the producer later expressed on his social networks. “The one of Argentina, 1985 It is an amazing journey and a way to seek to build a collective memory. This gratitude is infinite, ”she added.
