Do I Have to Take Care of Everything? Helium Just Before Losing Everything That Wasn't Me The Voorman Problem Without Disney in the mix, this one is quite as easy to predict, but will make a go of it. Do I Have to Take Care of Everything is a Finnish film about a Mom frustrated with her family who can't get things done. Helium is a Danish film about a quirky hospital janitor who helps a dying boy enjoy his final days. Just Before Losing Everything is a French film about the struggles of a single mother taking care of her children and work. That Wasn't Me is a Spanish film about the life-changing connection between an African boy and a Spanish woman. Finally, The Voorman Problem is a British film in which a doctor examines a prisoner who believes he is a god. Between these five choices, the social gravitas of the Spanish film, That Wasn't Me, might prove to be up the Academy's alley, but I'm going to say they go with the star power of Martin Freeman, who stars in the British short The Voorman Problem.
