86th Academy Awards Entries for Best Foreign Language Film

2014 Oscar Entries for Best Foreign Language Film


by Keith Widyolar

The 2014 Oscars (86th Academy Awards) honoring the best films of 2013, will be hosted by Ellen DeGeneres on ABC March 2, 2014 at 7pm.

On September 5, 2013, the Academy announced the three nominees who will be presented with an Academy Honorary Award, including Italian costume designer Piero Tosi.

76 countries submitted films in the “Best Foreign Language Film” category by the October 1, 2013 deadline. Nine films made the January shortlist. Paul Sorrentino’s “The Great Beauty” is the only film from a Latin country to make the shortlist.

Films made in Latin countries are very much in contrast to the guns, girls and gadgets formula of contemporary Hollywood. Looking at these films, you can see how directors are processing or reconciling their country’s past and present, even the Europeans. Contemporary Latin cinema is cathartic and says a lot about the countries themselves.

These are the submissions from Latin countries.
