\u201cYou never know about the chances of getting an Oscar,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is a moment right before you vote that you need to disconnect from all the noise of the big campaigns,\u201d Bayona explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He points out that despite the campaigns for certain movies, voters will \u201chave their moment\u201d when they consider the options and \u201cdisconnect from the noise and take a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat’s probably why we get so many surprises at awards ceremonies,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bayona believes that his film, which tells the real-life story of a Uruguayan rugby team’s plane crash in the Andes mountains in October, 1972, has a message that \u201cresonates\u201d with modern audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe live in a world so full of conflict that there is a lot of hope in seeing a story of people that went through such remarkable experiences, that show us the way that together we can defeat all the odds, how we get to know that we are all the same, that we need each other, that we need to take care of each other. That message resonates nowadays,\u201d the filmmaker from Barcelona explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
