The Netherlands has selected its acclaimed Dutch drama film, ‘Sweet Dreams’ by director Ena Sendijarevic, as its official entry, in the International Feature category for the 96th Academy Awards, in 2024. The film had its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival in August, winning the film’s actress Renee Soutendijk a best performance award. In addition, ‘Sweet Dreams’ is also set to get its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, according to Hollywood Reporter.
According to the film’s description, ‘Sweet Dreams’ is a dark humour based satire which is very ‘unforgiving’ in its take on European colonialism, showcasing how the lavish aesthetics and majestic lifestyle of colonial Europe soon came to a bitter end, and how its power and standard was reduced.
The synopsis reads: “On an Indonesian island, 1900, Dutch sugar plantation owner Jan and his wife, Agathe, are at the top of the food chain.

“Big Mouth” is the Emmy front-runner for Best Animated Program, according to the combined predictions of Gold Derby users as of this writing. This is the show’s third straight nomination, but it would be its first win. For that matter, it would be the first win for Netflix, which has yet to claim this prize despite a couple of additional noms in the last two years for the critically acclaimed cult hit “BoJack Horseman.” To win, though, “Big Mouth” will have to get past three shows that have a combined 18 previous victories between them: “The Simpsons,” “South Park,” and “Bob’s Burgers.”
