Industry

Producing movies, his own way, was Saul Zaentz's third career. And it was richly rewarded, in money and fame, including two Best Motion Picture - Drama Golden Globe awards: Amadeus (1985) was nominated in 6 categories and won Best Motion Picture - Drama for Zaentz, as well as Best Director (Milos Forman) and screenplay (Peter Shaffer) and The English Patient (1996) brought Zaentz his second Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Drama, and another one for his composer, Gabriel Yared.

As representatives of press outlets from more than 50 countries worldwide, members of the Hollywood Foreign Press have always attached great value to the Foreign Film category. Not only are non-English language movies indicative of the intrinsically international nature of the film business and examples of global excellence, they are also windows into humanity in all its facets and idioms, contributing, as only art can, to further understanding between all people.

One of the most flourishing cinema industries found today is in India. But the pioneers of the industry were actually foreigners.

Among the five films nominated in the Best Foreign Language category, The Hunt from Denmark is easily the darkest. It introduces us to a cast of sympathetic characters leading normal lives in a rural Danish town and then takes us on an unsettling journey as the community is torn apart by doubt and suspicion.
