Accurate predictions, especially for the top 5 that coincidentally are in my top 5 predictions as well. Although, many of these top 14 prediction films are front-runners, you overlooked some others that have big buzz or they are dark horses: India with an anti-Bollywood aesthetics film, UK with a psychological horror (this genre may not play against the film), South Korea with Kim Ji Woon, Philippines with Brillante Mendoza and Portugal with an artistic film. I think you are all Eurocentric (indeed this award is Eurocentric) but some “virgin” countries such as Egypt -you fairly distinguish- along with South Korea, Philippines and Portugal can be breakthroughs after so many years, and not always the usual countries to be praised.
