Singapore has submitted films for the
Academy Award for Best International Feature Film
[nb 1] on a fairly regular basis since 2005, although they submitted a film while still being
a British colony in 1959. The award is handed out annually by the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to a
feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-
English dialogue.
[3] The academy selection committee reviews all the submitted films, and secret ballot voting is used to determine the five nominees.
As of 2021
[update] , a total of fifteen films have been submitted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but none has yet received an Oscar nomination. The director whose films have been submitted the most is
Eric Khoo , although none had been nominated; one was disqualified for being more than 50% in English and not in a Foreign Language.
[4] Two other submissions were large-scale musicals: the 1959 musical-drama
The Kingdom and the Beauty , as well as the 2007
881 .

Notes
^ The category was previously named the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but this was changed to the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film in April 2019, after the Academy deemed the word "Foreign" to be outdated.
