Actress Sharifah Amani on La Luna being Singapore’s Oscar entry despite its predominantly Malaysian cast

Sharifah previously said that it was” surreal” to see La Luna being selected as Singapore’s Oscar entry.

Being Hani Abdullah in La Luna was a deeply personal practice for me, and it’s just unbelievable to discover Singapore recognize it as their standard Oscar nominee, she wrote.

” I’m so appreciative of the extraordinary team that makes La Luna, Singapore for embracing this narrative, and each and every viewer who found their own voice in this movie. We all who think that story can help bridge divisions should be aware of this reputation.

The style of challengers for best global film will be announced on December 17; the official Oscar nominees may be announced on January 17.
