Another Voice Heard: Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan of New York is the latest to voice an appeal that “Ju Dou” director Zhang Yimou be allowed by the Chinese government to attend Monday’s Academy Awards. “Ju Dou” is the first Chinese movie ever nominated for best foreign film, but Chinese authorities have sought to have it withdrawn from Oscar competition and have refused to give Zhang Yimou permission to attend the ceremony. Sen. Moynihan’s letter to the Chinese ambassador was signed by 10 Senate colleagues.
