According to the website Deadline, voters had a choice of a total of 27 animated features, along with 144 documentary features and international features from 92 countries.

Shortlists for the Documentary and International Feature category will be announced on December 21, with Oscar noms set to be unveiled on January 24.

This year’s ceremony is set to be broadcast on March 12 from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.

Vietnam’s 578 Magnum will compete in the Best International Feature Film award category.

Directed by Luong Dinh Dung, the film tells the story of a father who works as a driver of a container truck hunting down a group of criminals who kidnaped his daughter.

Meanwhile, Children of the Mist will compete in the Documentary Feature Film award category.

Directed by Ha Le Diem, the 90-minute long documentary is narrated by a 12-year-old ethnic H’Mong girl who resides in the northern town of Sa Pa.

It discusses the clash between ancient customs and modern values in a place where children from a traditional culture also have access to the outside world.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.

The words written on the giant hat include sightseeing spots in Can Tho, folk songs, proverbs, poems, and the names of various provinces and cities across the country. She shares that the purpose of her work is to honour the beauty of the fatherland through pieces of calligraphy. Indeed, the giant hat is created from 540 small conical hats which themselves represent the country’s 54 ethnic minority groups. The diametre of the giant hat spans for more than eight metres, with the length from the tip to the brim roughly four meters and the length from the tip of the cone to the ground roughly six metres. The work has 14 rows of conical ha...
