Iran wins rare Oscar nomination

by Chris Newbould on Jan 25, 2012

Iran scored its first foreign language film Oscar nomination in 14 years on Tuesday dominating a field of movies with subjects ranging from Jewish refugees in wartime Poland to corruption in the Flemish beef industry.

"A Separation", Iranian director's Asghar Farhadi's searing domestic drama, also scored a nod for best original screenplay, boosting the movie's chances for Oscar gold to crown what already has been critically-acclaimed run at Western film festivals.
