The prestigious Oscar will be presented for the 93rd time tonight in LA

We usually know the winners in February, but held much, much later this year on account of the pandemic, the Oscars will air tonight (Sunday, 25th April) We had high hopes for the Czech movie “The Charlatan” by director Agnieszka Holland, which we also had the opportunity to see at the recent Czechoslovak Film Festival in Australia. Unfortunately it wasn’t shortlisted in the Best Foreign Language Film category and neither was the Slovak movie from the Holocaust period “The Report” which according to critics also had a certain chance. In our common history, Czechoslovak filmmakers won the Oscar twice. Perhaps the best known is Oscar for a cult film with the unmistakable Jozef Króner in the main role of The shop on main street.
