Golden Globes announced on Thursday that the films that will be competing for the awards are “The Brand New Testament” from Belgium, “The Club” from Chile, “The Fencer” from Finland, “Mustang” from France, and “Son of Saul” from Hungary.
“Heneral Luna” was among the 71 foreign films from 46 countries initially vying for the award.
The winner will be announced during the awards ceremony on January 10, 2016, which will be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and will be hosted by Ricky Gervais.
Dubbed as the “highest-grossing Filipino historical film of all time,” “Heneral Luna” is also the Philippines’ bet to the 88th Academy Awards for the Best Foreign Language film category.
