'Apocalypto' on foreign Globes list

November 28, 2006 Clint Eastwood's "Letters From Iwo Jima" and Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" could find themselves competing against such high-profile foreign films as Pedro Almodovar's "Volver," Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" and Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's "The Lives of Others" at the 64th annual Golden Globe Awards. The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. released its list of eligible foreign-language films Monday, and both the Eastwood and Gibson movies made the first cut. By contrast, neither film is eligible in the Academy Awards' foreign-language film category because the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has no provision for accommodating non-English-language films produced by U.S. companies in its foreign-language category.
