Mikhalkov doubted the need for a new nomination of Borisov for the Oscar

Director Nikita Mikhalkov spoke about the possibility of renominating Russian actor Yura Borisov for the Oscar. In his opinion, now is not the right time to participate in the fight for the prestigious American film award. At the same time, the director did not deny the professional achievements of the artist.

Mikhalkov believes that when assessing the prospects of Russian filmmakers, it is necessary to take into account the current situation around international cultural events. That is why he doubted the timeliness of Borisov’s new nomination. The director made it clear that recognition abroad should not be the only indicator of an actor’s success.

Yura Borisov gained wide international fame thanks to his role in the film Anor by American director Sean Baker. For this work, he was nominated for an Oscar in the category Best Supporting Actor, becoming the first Russian actor to receive such a nomination. The possibility of his re-nomination is still under discussion.

Ushakov confirmed the meeting between Putin and trump, as well as a trilateral summit with Xi in China
