Three Polish films with Oscar nominations: Ida gaines two

The internationally appreciated Ida and two documentaries - Joanna and Nasza Klątwa are nominated for this year's Academy Awards. Pawlikowski's Ida is a nominee in Foreign Language Film and Cinematography categories. Both Joanna and Nasza Klątwa have a chance to be awarded for Documentary Short Subject. The highest hopes regard Ida, which is a strong competitor in the Foreign Language Film category and has just lost a Golden Globe to the Russian Leviathan. “If there is no Oscar, there will be no tragedy. We have a movie which the whole world was amazed with and nobody can take this away from Ida,” film critic Łukasz Maciejewski said on Polish Radio. Ida has earned several awards at film festivals in Toronto and London, among others. The Oscar Ceremony is taking place on February 22.
