The third time was indeed the charm as Ukraine’s 20 Days in Mariupol became the first Ukrainian film to win an Academy Award — but it wasn’t the first to have the chance to do so.
The 96th Academy Awards, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) is to take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, on March 10, 2024.
The Ukrainian documentary "20 Days in Mariupol", directed by Mstyslav Chernov, has been nominated for the 2024 British Academy of Television and Film Arts (BAFTA) Awards in two categories – Best Documentary and Film Not In the English Language.
