Sweden, Simple Simon, Andreas Ohman, director.
Yep, Carancho made it on the long list. The list has been updated.
I'll go over the information I have but there shouldn't be anything missing. Wikipedia isn't always reliable so I like to double check things. Also see if I can track down some posters for the films that are missing one. Cheers :)
On January 20, 2011 a shortlist of nine contenders will be selected. The final nominations are on on January 25, 2011
