Macedonia decided not to submit a film for consideration this year. According to the committee, two films were submitted to their consideration: Golden Five by Goran Trenchovski and When the Day Had No Name by Teona Strugar Mitevska . However, they found that neither of the submitted films fulfilled the aesthetic or narrative criteria to be the Macedonian Oscar nominee.[ 98]
Both Ghana and the United Arab Emirates were scheduled to submit a film for the first time, but neither country sent a film for consideration.[ 99] [ 100]
