Taiwan has selected the film “A Foggy Tale,” directed by Chen Yu-hsun, to represent the country in the Academy Awards’ Best International Feature Film category at the 99th Oscars. Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture announces the choice, saying the selection is meant to submit an official candidate for international consideration.
The ministry says “A Foggy Tale” is chosen from seven domestic submissions. The film is selected by majority vote of a committee, which highlights the movie’s “vivid characters” and “smooth narrative.” The reporting notes that this national selection is the next step toward the Oscars process, which involves further eligibility and shortlisting by the Academy.
While the outlets largely focus on the same decision and rationale, they differ mainly in wording and emphasis: one outlet includes additional description of the committee’s praise, while the other reports the selection in a more straightforward manner. Neither source indicates any controversy or alternative candidates.
