Pedro Almodóvar’s short film ‘Strange Way of Life’, starring Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal, made the penultimate cut at the Oscars and was among the candidates to win the statuette.

Almodóvar thus has good expectations to be at a Hollywood Academy Awards ceremony again, with this 30-minute ‘western’ that premiered this year at the Cannes Festival.

‘Strange Way of Life’ is fighting for a place on the final list with titles like ‘The After’, ‘The Anne Frank Gift Shop’, ‘An Avocado Pit’ and ‘Welcome to Los Angeles’.

If he achieves the nomination, it would be the sixth of his career and the first in three years, after ‘Pain and Glory’.
