BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Montreal-born Kim Nguyen was “ecstatic” Friday after learning that his war-torn drama “Rebelle” is one step closer to an Oscar nomination.

The film — called “War Witch” in English — made a nine film short list announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version had an incorrect date for the Oscar nominations.
