There's a section in the end that tallys the country score on Nominations. I don't think it's really relevant info, but it's nonetheless interesting. Wouldn't it be equally interesting to display the score on actual wins, instead of only the nominations?-- nunocordeiro 06:24, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
And wouldn't it be preferable to have the original name first and the English name second? (In oposition to the current form with the english name first and original name next.)-- nunocordeiro 14:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Could someone put the appropriate Chinese, Japanese and Hebrew characters into these titles? -- Zoe
This page is exceedingly long. Would someone mind if I deleted the production company information? If it's worthwhile, it can be included in any articles that get created about these movies. I'll wait a week to see what the opinion is. RickK 02:32, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)
OK, nobody objected, so I did it. If you want to create an article about a movie, add the production and direction info there. RickK 23:43, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I just saw this change to-day, and I find it a shame to be losing the production information. Not all the films in this category have articles of their own. I long ago did have a concern myself about the length of the article and its numerous links. A better solution will be to divide the article into three parts.
I would consider removing the word "Best" from the titles since it isn't really necessary, and I am open to other combinations of years for the divisions. I understand that many links will need to be repaired. Eclecticology 06:55, 2004 Mar 7 (UTC)
A suggestion - it is hard at first to understand the notation concerning winner vs. non-winner nominees. Perhaps it is a good idea to explain this in the beginning?
Also, it may be interesting to know whether movies eligible to "Best Foreign Language" are also eligible for the other categories. I can't edit this in as I don't know the answer myself...
Yes, foreign language films are eligible for other categories appropriate for the particular film. For example, in 1998, the film "Life Is Beautiful (Le Vita è bella)"
won Academy Awards for Best Music, Original Dramatic Score and Best Foreign Language Film, and Benigni won Best Actor for his role. The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Directing, Film Editing, Best Picture, and Best Original Screenplay as well. Wikipedia link here:

The infobox notes that the previous name for this award was used “until 2020”. But since it was renamed in 2020, should it not say “until 2019”? Antrikshy ( talk) 07:44, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
How about statistics about nominations and awards by language? And have any of the foreign language movies ever won more than just this award? ROGNNTUDJUU! 04:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
When should we start listing the candidates for the 2007 award ? I note India's was announced recently. -- Beardo 05:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
This article is a mess. This is just what I feared Wikipedia would be. This is a premio that goes to the director, not to the production companies. Why they are cluttering the page is hard to understand. This list was certainly added by the production people in an attempt to immortalizar themselves. Eliminating them would be a first step. Then there would have to be a list of records –Federico Fellini won this award four times. That's an interesting fact, I think.
Should we have separate pages for each year's candidates ? -- Beardo 05:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I see there is a ´long list´ of Best Foreign Film nominations for the Academy Awards nr 65 to 78. Is there any plans to have the long list for awards nr 26 to 64? Any reply is well taken. Thanks -- Steinninn 11:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I sent an e-mail to the Academy Awards Library and they sent me a list of all films ACCEPTED by the Academy back to the 1969/1970 (42nd) ceremony. (Lots of famous films have been disqualified by the committee). I'm adding these pages little by little...Should be done by next week.

Why the sudden change in year format after 2000? I guess I understand the reasoning behind listing it that way, but it is visually confusing and can be accomplished via piped links . . . - Dmz5 *Edits* *Talk* 00:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Anyone know exactly who keeps this Oscar. Obviously the director is the one who usually gets up and accepts the award, i.e. Roberto Benigni for Life Is Beautiful, but I read an article saying that Dino De Laurentiis has several Oscars for producing the Fellini films that won. So does the director accept it at the ceremony, but the producer gets it once it's engraved or what is the deal as to who actually keeps the oscar statuette? Largo1965 23:31, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
I have been working on a new version of this article on my sandbox for quite some time, and now I am copying it here. I have added better-looking tables and written well-referenced explanatory paragraphs, and I have also created a section about the eligibility of foreign language films in other categories (a lot of people seem to be inquiring about this !). I really checked everything, from the countries' flags to the spelling of the films in their original language, but please do not hesitate to correct any mistake you might find. Hope to hear your comments about this new version of the article ! BomBom 20:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC) Bold text
Shouldn't this article make reference to how this specific awards designs can lead to poor consequences most notably the story of City of God. A film released in 2002, nominated by Brazil as their best picture for 2003, not chosen due to a variety of reasons (most of which being that nobody went to see it), it's fame growing rapidly in 2003 until in 2004 (two years after it was released) it was nominated for four oscars but was not eligible for best foreign film as it had already been nominated once. –– Lid( Talk) 15:10, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know and there were two Russia's but the first Russia was really the Soviet Union so I changed that. Qwerty786 ( talk) 20:48, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi. The Academy calls this award the Best International Feature Film to reflect the changes made earlier in the year. The term "Best Foreign Language Film" is incorrect and obsolete, regardless if the 92nd ceremony has happened yet or not. All press coverage for films submitted into this category have the new award title too, hence why the page title should reflect the new name. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:30, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: procedural close: reverted to stable title, Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, at this time under Wikipedia:Requested moves#Undiscussed moves. Additionally, I have added move protection to the page to prevent move warring. Finally, I note that Lugnuts performed a null edit (removing a single space on the redirect page) to prevent the page from being moved back to its original title. Please do not do that. If the page should be moved, please create a full discussion and let consensus show such. Dekimasu よ! 07:03, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
Academy Award for Best International Feature Film → Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film – The page was moved without consensus. It has been given out as Foreign Language Film for over seven decades before being renamed just this year. The award has yet to even be given out using the new name. There is no evidence to suggest at all that the new name has already replaced the original name as the common name. JDDJS ( talk to me • see what I've done) 19:57, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved — Amakuru ( talk) 10:27, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film →
Academy Award for Best International Feature Film – This is the new and correct title of this award from the Academy, per their
updated rules. It was renamed c. April 2019, with all press coverage for films submitted into the category using the new name, such as
Forbes,
Variety,
BBC,
Awards Daily,
New York Times,
The Hollywood Reporter,
Deadline Hollywood,
Screendaily, etc.
Note that the page was originally moved in April 2019 to the new name by ViperSnake151 and remained at that title for seven months, before being moved back by JDDJS. Per the Academy itself, the term "Foreign" is outdated and is no longer used. Also, the Academy Award for Best Production Design was previously titled "Best Art Direction" upto 2012, and was moved without any issue, despite "Best Art Direction" being used since the 1920s, more than three decades longer than this category.

if the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match. Do the reliable sources still call it foreign? If so, please provide sources, as the sources provided in this RM show the opposite. -- Gonnym ( talk) 10:21, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
...we give extra weight to reliable sources written after the name change". The examples given support the change, and a counter argument to that has yet to be shown. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 20:19, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
