SEOUL, January 28 (AJP) - Director Park Chan-wook's film No Other Choice failed to make the final list of five nominees competing for next month's British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards.
Among the five final nominees, announced on Tuesday about a month ahead of the annual awards, were Iran's "It Was Just an Accident," Brazilian historical thriller "The Secret Agent," Norway's "Sentimental Value," Spanish-French co-production "Sirât," and Tunisian-French co-production "The Voice of Hind Rajab."
Earlier last month, expectations had been building after Park's 139-minute thriller was longlisted, along with nine other films, for the award recognizing the "Best Film Not in the English Language."
Previously, "No Other Choice" did not win any awards at the U.S. Golden Globes earlier this month despite earning three nominations, and it also missed out on the final nominees for the prestigious Academy Awards, scheduled to be held in March.
But "Bugonia," a remake of director Jang Joon-hwan's 2003 film "Save the Green Planet!" is vying for awards after earning five nominations.
The 79th BAFTA ceremony will be held in London on Feb. 22.
