The NOSC in a statement announced that no Nigerian film will be submitted for the 2022 Oscars as film submissions failed to meet the eligibility criteria for the Academy’s Best International Feature Film category.

“After a series of deliberations by the Committee members, we regret to announce that there won’t be a submission of a film to represent the country for the 94th Academy Awards. This is due to the fact that the films received so far for screening failed the eligibility rule test set by the Academy,” Anyaene stated.

“The Committee is committed to ensuring that the film which would eventually represent the country at the 94th Academy Awards in the International Feature Film category meets all eligibility rules and technical requirements for the competition,” she added.
