The dominance of Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall in the non-English language film categories both before and after France opted to submit The Taste of Things as its official selection has mostly felt like a coronation for the UK’s submission of Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest.
When the films went one and two at Cannes last summer (Anatomy winning the Palme, Zone with the Grand Prix) they’ve been on this journey ever since. Anatomy won LAFCA and NYFCC then the Golden Globe and Critics Choice only to be ineligible here while Zone laid in waiting, coming out and winning the BAFTA last week – over Anatomy – pretty much turned the likely into the inevitable. Spain’s Society of the Snow from J.A. Bayona has tried to keep up but will remain a solid 2nd in this lineup.
With both Anatomy and Zone in Best Picture, Director and Screenplay categories it would have made for quite a fun race here (I would have given the edge to Anatomy) but this is Zone‘s to lose and will become the UK’s first ever win here after 20 submissions and two nominations.
Here are my ranked final 2024 Oscar winner predictions for International Feature Film.
