The list of foreign-language Oscar contenders grew a bit longer Thursday as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Thursday received entries from Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Mexico. An Italian jury of 711 cinema and cultural professionals selected Gianni Amelio's Rai Cinema production Le Chiavi di Casa (The Keys to the House). It stars Kim Rossi Stuart as an estranged father who sets out to make amends with his 14-year-old handicapped son, played by Andrea Rossi. The Dutch picked Eddy Terstall's tragicomedy Simon, about the unlikely friendship between a heterosexual drug dealer and a homosexual dentistry student. The feature debuted at the Netherlands Film Festival in Utrecht. Erik Poppe's sophomore effort, Hawaii, Oslo, is Norway's entry for Oscar consideration. The film follows a series of interconnected stories set in Oslo during the hottest day of the year.
