Sony Picture Classics acquired Another Year

So far the biggest film to come out of Cannes has been Mike Leigh's Another Year, and merely days after it premiered, Sony Picture Classics scooped up distribution rights to the film, which means the film will be coming to the screen this year. I can't talk too much on its Oscar possibilities, because I haven't seen a shred of footage from the film, but from the hype coming from Cannes, we can probably expect it to be in the running for Best Picture.
