On Thursday morning, “Searching for Sugar Man” director Malik Bendjelloul was still getting used to the reality of having made an Oscar-nominated film.
“It feels surrealistic, crazy. Oscar is, the word itself, it’s something you’ve heard about since you were a kid. It never occurred to be that it was something anyone ever achieved. I mean, I’m from Sweden. It’s completely crazy,” he told the Free Press from Los Angeles.

reading the nomination brought tears to my eyes. i know it;s going to win. Lori
If Sixto Doesn’t WIN an Oscar, there is something terribly WRONG with the Movie Industry…
Malik, you deserve it.
I agree. Many of us are sooo emotionally invested in this film. It is so special.
Wouldn’t that be the first Oscar for a movie that has been partly filmed with just an iPhone?
Even this is material for another movie!
Incredible work. Good luck!
Yes Malik, you deserve it. We all are thankful to you.
