The information was announced from the Academy.
As reported, there are overall 71 works in the long-list.
The source informs that the short-list of nominees for the “Oscar” will be announced on January 10, 2013.
We should recall that the Russian Oscar Committee on September 20 made the decision to nominate this film in the “Oscar”.
