This page lists all the foreign language films which have been nominated for or won Academy Awards in categories other than the Foreign Language Film category itself. The Academy Awards, popularly known as the Oscars, are among the world's oldest and most prestigious film prizes.[1] They were first handed out on May 16, 1929 by the U.S.-based Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and have been given annually ever since.[2] Even though a separate prize has existed for foreign language films since the 1956 Academy Awards, such films continue to be eligible for Academy Awards in other categories, including Best Picture, provided that they have been commercially released in Los Angeles County and that they comply with the special rules governing those categories.[3] The French comedy À Nous la Liberté (1931) was the first foreign language film to be nominated for an Academy Award; the German-language Swiss drama Marie-Louise (1944) was the first to actually win one.
Although a Los Angeles theatrical release is not required for eligibility for the Best Foreign Language Film Award itself, it is a prerequisite for consideration for Academy Awards in other categories. In the past, this had enabled some foreign language films to receive nominations over multiple years, the most recent case being that of the Italian comedy-drama Amarcord (1973). Because such films were still unreleased in Los Angeles when they were submitted to the Academy, they could only be nominated in the Foreign Language Film category. However, upon their Los Angeles release, they became eligible for other Academy Awards, and often ended up receiving nominations in various categories one year after their initial Foreign Language Film nomination. Presently, such nominations over multiple years are no longer possible since the current rules of the Academy unambiguously state that: "Films nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award shall not be eligible for Academy Awards consideration in any category in any subsequent Awards year." This restriction, however, does not apply to submitted films that were not selected as nominees.[3] The Brazilian film City of God (2002) was thus able to receive four Academy Award nominations for the 2003 Academy Awards, even though it had failed to garner a Foreign Language Film nomination as Brazil's official submission for the 2002 Academy Awards.[4]

It is important to note that foreign films are not to be confused with foreign language films. A foreign film is a motion picture produced outside the United States, regardless of the language used in its dialogue track. A foreign language film, on the other hand, is a predominantly non-English speaking motion picture, regardless of where it was produced. Although the overwhelming majority of foreign language films are foreign, this is not always the case: in recent years, for instance, several non-English speaking American films such as The Passion of the Christ (2004) or Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) have been nominated for Academy Awards. Such films are included in this list. On the other hand, foreign films where the majority of the dialogue is in English — such as the Indo-British co-production of Gandhi (1982) — are not taken into account. The article also includes films such as the Japanese anime Spirited Away (2001) that were initially released in their native country in a foreign language but were nominated by the Academy for the English-dubbed version under which they were shown in Los Angeles. The films are grouped by award category, and are arranged chronologically within each category. The years are listed as per Academy convention, and generally correspond to the year of film release; the ceremonies are always held the following year. The winning films are in bold and in light blue background; the presence of an Oscar statuette indicates the official recipient of the award.
[edit] Best Picture
This category has existed since the creation of the Academy Awards. Its name has changed several times over the years. When Grand Illusion (1937) was nominated, the name of the category was Outstanding Production; the Best Picture designation has been continuously used since the 1962 Academy Awards. Individual producers have been officially nominated for this award since the 1951 Academy Awards. Previously, the nominations went to the production companies instead.
[edit] Actor in a Leading Role
This category has existed since the creation of the Academy Awards. Its name was changed from Actor to Actor in a Leading Role starting 1976 onwards. It should be noted that Roberto Benigni's win for his role in Life Is Beautiful (1997) made him only the third performer (after Charlie Chaplin and Laurence Olivier) to have directed himself to an Acting Award. No one has repeated this feat since then.[9]

[edit] Actor in a Supporting Role
This category has existed since the 1936 Academy Awards. No foreign language film has ever been nominated for this award. However, three actors have received nominations for foreign language performances in predominantly English-speaking American films: Robert De Niro, who was nominated (and won) in The Godfather Part II (1974) for an Italian-language performance; Graham Greene, who was nominated (but lost) in Dances With Wolves (1990) for a Lakota-language performance; and Benicio del Toro, who was nominated (and won) in Traffic (2000) for a Spanish-language performance.
[edit] Actress in a Leading Role
This category has existed since the creation of the Academy Awards. Its name was changed from Actress to Actress in a Leading Role starting 1976 onwards. It should be noted that Marlee Matlin's Academy Award-winning role in Children of a Lesser God (1986) was performed in American sign language. However, because the film itself is a predominantly English-speaking American motion picture, it is not listed in the table below.
[edit] Actress in a Supporting Role
This category has existed since the 1936 Academy Awards. It should be noted that Rinko Kikuchi was nominated in Babel (2006) for a supporting role performed in Japanese sign language. However, because the film itself is a predominantly English-speaking motion picture, it is not listed in the table below.

[edit] Animated Feature Film
This category has existed since the 2001 Academy Awards. The intended recipient(s) of this award must be designated by those responsible for the production of the film. Agreement on the designated recipient(s) has to be settled prior to the film's submission to the Academy. Unlike other Academy Awards, the Best Animated Feature Film Award therefore does not always go to the same crew member. However, the person(s) to whom it is given must always be "the key creative individual most clearly responsible for the overall achievement or a two-person team with shared and equal directing credit".[16]

[edit] Art Direction
This category has existed since the creation of the Academy Awards. Until 1939, only one award was given. From 1940 till 1966, two awards were given, one for black-and-white films, the other for color films. The two awards were briefly merged at the 1957 and 1958 Academy Awards, and were permanently combined once again in a single category starting 1967. All the foreign language films that were nominated for the Art Direction Award between 1940 and 1966 received their nomination in the Black-and-White category, with the exception of Juliet of the Spirits (1965), which was nominated in the Color category.
[edit] Cinematography
This category has existed since the creation of the Academy Awards. Until 1938, only one award was given. From 1939 till 1966, two awards were given, one for black-and-white films, the other for color films. The two awards were briefly merged at the 1957 Academy Awards, and were permanently combined once again in a single category starting 1967. However, since foreign language films were not nominated for the Cinematography Award prior to the 1973 Academy Awards, they were unaffected by the splits and mergers that took place in this category.
[edit] Costume Design
This category has existed since the 1948 Academy Awards. Until 1966, two awards were given, one for black-and-white films, the other for color films. The two awards were briefly merged at the 1957 and 1958 Academy Awards, and were permanently combined once again in a single category starting 1967. All the foreign language films that were nominated for the Costume Design Award between 1948 and 1966 received their nomination in the Black-and-White category, with the exception of Gate of Hell (1953) and Juliet of the Spirits (1965), which were nominated in the Color category.
[edit] Directing
This category has existed since the creation of the Academy Awards. It should be noted that Lina Wertmüller's nomination for Seven Beauties (1975) made her the first-ever woman to be nominated for the Directing Award. Only two other female directors have repeated this feat: Jane Campion for The Piano (1993), and Sofia Coppola for Lost in Translation (2003).[32] All three nominations were unsuccessful.
[edit] Film Editing
This category has existed since the 1934 Academy Awards.
