The South African Oscar winner Tsotsi was in third spot on the local arthouse circuit, Ster-Kinekor’s Cinema Nouveau, during the past weekend. Its Oscar win should result in a box office boost over the next week though.
All top 10 films at Cinema Nouveau are Oscar-nominated or winners in one way or another. Currently in first place is Mrs Henderson Presents, starring the Oscar-nominated Dame Judi Dench in a performance tailor-made for her extraordinary talent. The oil saga Syriana, starring Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner George Clooney, is in second place. In fourth place is the Oscar-nominated Johnny Cash bio-pic Walk The Line (featuring Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon).
Pride & Prejudice, starring Oscar-nominee Keira Knightly is in fifth place, followed by Best Documentary Feature Oscar winner, March of the Penguins. Thereafter are the Best Picture nominees, Goodnight & Good Luck and The Constant Gardener.
Oscar-nominee Charlize Theron stars in the ninth placed North Country, followed by the Best Picture nominee, Munich.
