Notes

  • Netherlands The Netherlands submitted their entry on September 2, but the decision was appealed. Many Netherlands-based producers argued that the submitted film did not meet the AMPAS criteria for eligibility because it was a re-montage. The Netherlands reconvened the Oscar committee on September 21. AMPAS concluded that the entry was in fact ineligible after which Winter in Wartime was entered. In the Dutch press Winter in Wartime producer San Fu Malta lamented that the mistake made his film appear to be second choice. Voicing the sentiment of large sections of the filmsector, he argued that the committee falling under the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science should not have decided upon the Oscar nomination. That should have been done by, for instance, the jury of the Netherlands Film Festival which had the requisite expertise and was free of any conflict of interest. [9] [10]
  •   Serbia's Oscar selection committee originally voted to submit Here and There, which is set in Belgrade and New York City and features a mixed American and Serbian cast. After consulting with the Academy, Serbia changed its submission since the film appears to contain more than 50% English dialogue. [11]
  • Sri Lanka Sri Lanka originally announced that they would send Flowers of the Sky [12] but The Road from Elephant Pass was eventually announced to be Sri Lanka's final submission. [13]
  • Thirteen other countries ( Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Iraq, Ireland, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Nepal, Palestinian Territories, Singapore, and Ukraine) that submitted films within the three previous years opted not to send a movie for Oscar consideration in 2009.
