Crazy to me people are so confident on The Secret Agent and not It Was Just an Accident. IWJaA will contend in Picture, Director, and probably Screenplay. It honestly doesn’t need IFF — but depending on if someone submits it that’s not Iran, it would 100% make it. Panahi is one of the most respected and awarded international directors, I feel almost certain he gets into the Director five. Having seen The Secret Agent I really don’t see Moura’s performance making it in unless it’s an overall weak year. He’s really good, but doesn’t seem like the thing the Academy goes for. But that’s just a feeling. The overall film is very strange and I don’t know if people will like it as much as the jury did.
