India’s hope to make it big at the Oscars seems to have drowned, with the official entry ‘Newton’ not featuring in the top nine films list. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nine films which have moved to the next round. Rajkummar Rao starring ‘Newton’ is unfortunately missing from the prestigious list. The nine films that advanced to the next round include – ‘A Fantastic Woman’ (Chile), ‘In the Fade’ (Germany), ‘On Body And Soul’ (Hungary), ‘Foxtrot’ (Israel), ‘The Insult’ (Lebanon), ‘Loveless’ (Russia), ‘Felicite’ (Senegal), ‘The Wound’ (South Africa) and ‘The Square’ (Sweden).
