Paola Cortellesi said her box-office
and critical hit C'è Ancora Domani (There's Still Tomorrow) had
the same chance of getting an Oscar as a cat does of surviving
on a busy ring road during the Roman Catholic Jubilee Holy Year
after it was long-listed for the best film award.
Echoing the title of a cult comedy film in which she starred
alongside Antonio Albanese in 2017, the actor-director said:
''Now, let's be clear: In this US championship, the chances that
There's Still Tomorrow will enter the top five for the Academy
Awards are equal, I would say, to the life of a cat on a ring
road, in Rome, in the year of the Jubilee.
"But it is still a satisfaction even just to have been admitted
to this selection of films distributed in American theaters. Now
I would say instead that we focus on rooting hard for our
country's deserving candidate, the splendid Vermiglio by Maura
Delpero!'.
''I am grateful to Greenwich Entertainment, the film's American
distributor, for believing in There's Still Tomorrow and having
presented it among the films eligible for the Oscars'',
Cortellesi told ANSA.
