This page lists the winners and nominees for the '''Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film''', which is handed out annually by the English dialogue track.<ref name="Rules"></ref>

When the first Academy Awards ceremony was held on 1927/28, there was no separate category for foreign language films. Between 1947 and 1955, the Academy presented Special/Honorary Awards to the best foreign language films released in the United States.<ref></ref> These awards, however, were not handed out on a regular basis (no award was given in 1953), and were not competitive since there were no nominees but simply one winning film per year. For the 1956 Academy Awards, a competitive Academy Award of Merit, known as the Best Foreign Language Film Award, was created for non-English speaking films, and has been given annually since then.

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,<ref name="Rules"/> but is considered an award for the submitting country as a whole. Over the years, the Best Foreign Language Film Award and its predecessors have been given almost exclusively to European films: out of the 60 awards handed out by the Academy since 1947 to foreign language films, fifty-one have gone to European films, four to Asian films, three to African films and only two to films from the Americas. The late Italian filmmaker Special Awards are taken into account, then Fellini's record is tied by his fellow countryman Soviet epic ''War and Peace'' (1967), for its part, is by far the most expensive and longest motion picture to have won the Best Foreign Language Film Award. Filmed over several years in the 1960s for more than $100 million and running for approximately seven hours, it is the costliest film ever made in history if measured in inflation-adjusted terms.<ref></ref>

== Winners and nominees ==

In the following table, the years are listed as per Academy convention, and generally correspond to the year of ceremonies are always held the following year. Films in bold and in dark blue background have received a Special/Honorary Award; those in bold and in light blue background have won a regular Academy Award of Merit. Films that are neither highlighted nor in bold are the nominees. When sorted chronologically, the table always lists the winning film first and then the four other nominees. The ''Submitting country'' column indicates the country that officially submitted the film to the Academy, and is not necessarily indicative of the film's main country of production. The original titles of the films are also mentioned, as well as the names of the directors and the languages used in the dialogue track, even though none of these elements is officially included in the nomination. When several languages are used in a film, the predominant one is always listed first; the names of the other languages are written in smaller typesize and placed between brackets. When a film's original title is in a language that uses a non-script. Films from the former Yugoslavia are written in both Latin and Cyrillic due to the fact that the previously official Serbo-Croatian language used both alphabets. Chinese film titles are romanized according to the pinyin system, and are written using the characters employed in their submitting country, i.e. traditional Chinese ones for films submitted by Hong Kong and Taiwan, and simplified Chinese ones for films submitted by the People's Republic of China.
