Czech film academy nominates Karamazov brothers film for Oscar contention

The Czech Film Academy has nominated the Petr Zenenka helmed film Karamazovi – an adaptation of Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky’s classic novel to vie for the 2009 US Oscars. This does not automatically mean that the film will be officially nominated at the Oscars – instead academy members will now evaluate the film before announcing the final Oscar nominees in January. The Czech Republic has not won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film since 1996’s Kolya.
