This is a list of submissions to the 83rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has invited the film industries of various countries to submit their best film for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film every year since the award was created in 1956.[1] The award is presented annually by the Academy to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue.[1][2] The Foreign Language Film Award Committee oversees the process and reviews all the submitted films.[2]

Submissions
editNotes
edit- Vietnam has submitted four films in the past five years. Their official nominating body, the Vietnam Cinema Administration's International Relations Department, has indicated an interest in participating and has said they have nine eligible films. However, as of 5 October 2010[update], they had made no official announcement.[63]
- Taiwan originally chose Hear Me, which was deemed to be ineligible since its August 2009 release date meant that it was eligible only for the previous year.[64]
- Cuba, Lithuania, and Luxembourg informed Variety before the deadline that they would not participate in this year's competition.[65]
