In early September, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of Argentina announced the film as the country’s representative for the Best Ibero-American Film category at the 41st Goya Awards. The selection followed a two-stage vote by over 700 Academy members, where it beat finalists including ‘El Partido’, ‘Nuestra Tierra’, and ‘Parque Lezama’. By late September, the film was also selected to represent Argentina in the Best International Feature Film category for the 2027 Oscars. The film, which blends horror and drama set against the backdrop of the 2001 economic crisis, now enters the official evaluation process by the Academy in Hollywood. The supernatural horror production, written by Benjamín Naishtat and starring Dolores Oliverio, follows a young woman named Natalia who uses magic to navigate a romantic triangle. The Academy in Hollywood is expected to announce a preliminary list of 15 Oscar finalists on December 15. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-28: La virgen de la tosquera selected as Argentina's Oscar entry Argentina has chosen ‘La virgen de la tosquera’, directed by Laura Casabé, to compete for the Best International Feature Film at the 2027 Oscars.
