The AcademyAward for Best Foreign Language Film was first given out at the 20th Oscar ceremony in 1948. At the time it was a special award rather than a competitive award, given by the Academy to a film in a language other than English that was judged to be outstanding. Beginning with the 29th Academy Awards in 1957, the award was changed to a competitive award with a list of nominees that Academy members could vote on, and it has remained as such until this day. Historically, the Oscars have strongly favored films from Europe--Italy has thirteen award-winning films while the entire continent of Africa only has two.

The AcademyAward for Best Foreign Language Film was first given out at the 20th Oscar ceremony in 1948. At the time it was a special award rather than a competitive award, given by the Academy to a film in a language other than English that was judged to be outstanding. Beginning with the 29th Academy Awards in 1957, the award was changed to a competitive award with a list of nominees that Academy members could vote on, and it has remained as such until this day. Historically, the Oscars have strongly favored films from Europe--Italy has thirteen award-winning films while the entire continent of Africa only has two.
The award for Best Foreign Language film has several rules for eligibility, some of which have been controversial:
* Films produced in the United States are not eligible, even if they are largely or entirely in a language other than English. Thus ''Film/LettersFromIwoJima'' by Creator/ClintEastwood was not eligible for a nomination despite being almost entirely in Japanese.
* If a film has too much English dialogue, it is not eligible. ''The Band's Visit'', a 2007 film submitted by Israel, was rejected by the Academy for including too much English. (Interestingly, films having no dialogue at all, such as 1983 nominee ''Le Bal'', are eligible.)
* Films must be submitted by the countries they are produced in, and countries are limited to one nominee each.
* A film may be rejected if the country nominating it did not have sufficient artistic control over it. ''Film/LustCaution'', nominated by Taiwan, was rejected because the Academy judged the United States and mainland China to be too involved in the production.
Winners of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film are listed below. Films in languages other than English are eligible for other Oscars if they meet requirements, and nine foreign-language films (including ''Letters from Iwo Jima'') have been nominated for Best Picture.
