(<i>Rashomon</i>, for Japan, in 1951 [before the category as officially established, so it's "honorary," but still] and then <i>Dersu</i> in 1975 for the SU)<br /><br />Also, don't get me wrong - <i>Dersu</i> is better than <i>Sandakan</i>, in my opinion, and deserved to beat it. <i>Sandakan</i> just happens to have some really outstanding acting in it too.BeRightBackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386424531104200511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-88902350130622930692009-08-27T16:42:53.647-04:002009-08-27T16:42:53.647-04:00I know that Hollywood tends to attract a lot of fo...I know that Hollywood tends to attract a lot of foreign directors, and I'm sure other countries have directors come in from other nations to direct films. But the incident you described...I don't really know. I guess it could have, conceivably, but it'd be really hard to know.<br /><br />Honestly, I'm more shocked that Kurosawa did a Soviet film than I am that it beat the Japanese entry! But then again, I feel like the Foreign Language Oscar rarely goes to the most truly deserving film; at least a Kurosawa film did win!Jason H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13602716894117436324noreply@blogger.com
