Though there were a great many surprises the morning when the Golden Globe nominations were announced; and as always, many eyes were on the race for Best Foreign Language film. While the Golden Globes aren’t always the most accurate barometer of the Foreign Language nominees for the Academy Awards (as the eligibility rules laid forth by both bodies in this race are very different), the Golden Globe nominations can provide some very real momentum for films that have been submitted to the Academy for consideration for the Best Foreign Language Oscar.

Robust Russian period meller "The Edge" is less interested in the politics or injustices of its chosen milieu -- Siberian prison camps just after WWII -- than in a glowering hero's steely machismo and the romance of old steam-engine trains. Vet helmer Alexey Uchitel's latest may fall between commercial and arthouse terrain for some international buyers, but outside home territories, it could pick up a healthy share of specialized home-format sales. It's slated as Russia's 2010 Oscar submission.
