The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the shortlists in 10 categories for the upcoming Oscars 2024 ceremony on Thursday. India`s official entry, the Malayalam film 2018` failed to make it to the top 15. The film directed by Jude Anthany Joseph is the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year and boasts an ensemble cast. The film narrates the story of the horrific 2018 Kerala floods that caused havoc in the state.
After India got out of the race to the Oscars 2024, Jude Anthany Joseph took to his social media handle to share a note expressing his disappointment. He shared a picture of all the films that made it to the shortlist and wrote, "Greetings, everyone. The Oscar shortlist has been unveiled, and regrettably, our film “2018- Everyone Is A Hero” did not secure a spot among the final 15 films out of the 88 international language films from across the globe. I sincerely apologize to all my well-wishers and supporters for disappointing you all.”
