Previously, in 1948, Argentina participated with
Luis César Amadori's Dios se lo pague for an Honorary Award to the best foreign-language film released in the United States, making it the first Argentine film to be presented in the Academy Awards.[5] It lost to Monsieur Vincent. These awards were not competitive, as there were no nominees but simply a winner every year that was voted on by the Board of Governors of the Academy.
Nine Argentine directors have had multiple films submitted to the Academy for review. Of these,
Marcelo Piñeyro and
Pablo Trapero have been selected a record three times, and only
Juan José Campanella has managed multiple Oscar nominations. Since The Official Story took home the award at the 1986 Oscars, Argentina has never failed to submit a film to the competition.
Among all the countries that have received the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Argentina (with two awards) is one of four
Spanish-speaking countries that have done so, the others being
Chile (one award),
Mexico (one award), and
Spain (four awards).[6]
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 since 1956.[4] The Foreign Language Film Award Committee oversees the process and reviews all the submitted films. Following this, they vote via
secret ballot to determine the five nominees for the award.[3] Below is a list of the films that have been submitted by Argentina for review by the Academy for the award by year and the respective Academy Awards ceremony. All films are in
Spanish.
^In the same year the
Adolfo Aristarain film A Place in the World (1992) obtained a nomination like an
Uruguayan film. But after nominations were announced, information came to light that showed that the film was wholly produced in
Argentina, and had insufficient Uruguayan artistic control. The film was declared ineligible and removed from the final ballot.
^The category was previously named the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but this was changed to the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film in April 2019, after the Academy deemed the word "Foreign" to be outdated.[1][2]
