The Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film is one of the Academy Awards of Merit, or Oscars, handed out annually by the US-based Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). It is given to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States in a language that is not English. Unlike other Academy Awards, the Best Foreign Language Film Award is not presented to a specific individual. It is accepted by the winning film’s director, but is considered an award for the submitting country as a whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
