请把下面的汉语翻译成一句英文：

1. 由克里斯蒂安•贝尔（Christian Bale）担纲主演、以1937年日本野蛮入侵南京为题材的中国影片《金陵十三钗》未能入围今年奥斯卡最佳外语片奖的初选名单。此前，对这部电影的宣传一直声势浩大。

参考答案：

'The Flowers of War' , the heavily promoted Chinese movie about Japan's brutal occupation of Nanjing in 1937 starring Christian Bale, failed to make the short list of films competing for this year's best foreign-language film at the Academy Awards.

2.《金陵十三钗》是目前为止制作成本最高的中国影片，预算接近一亿美元，也是中国角逐今年奥斯卡奖的最大希望，不过，该片仍有可能获得其他类别奖项的提名。

参考答案：

With a budget of nearly US$100 million, 'Flowers' is the most expensive film ever produced in China and was the country's best hope for an Academy Award this year, although it could still be nominated in other categories.
