  • This year’s selection marked the academy’s first two-round vote, with a committee initially shortlisting “Broken Voices,” “Caravan” and Tasovská’s film.
  • In the August 8 final ballot, 194 of 436 eligible members cast votes to choose “I’m Not Everything I Want to Be” as the national submission.
