Jay Kelly is the only surprising inclusion in this list, especially since it seemed to have faded into obscurity since it’s release. Otherwise, mostly films we expected to see. Typically, the Academy’s list will include most of these but with that special award win, It Was Just an Accident will certainly be one of the film’s replacing this American-only (ish) list.
