The Americans have nominated Jan Guillous’ “Evil” in the Oscar category foreign language film, but it is still unsure if the author himself will be allowed to enter the US.

Jan Guillou wouldn’t mind one bit attending the Oscars on February 29, but he may not get his wish granted because of his past.

According to the Swedish paper Aftonbladet, Guillou is not at all sure that he will be allowed to enter the US. Guillou was jailed for some time several years back for allegedly working for a secret Swedish intelligence organization called IB. “I’m considered a terrorist,” Guillou said.
