European winners of the Best International Film Oscar

8 comments
  1. The European countries with the most nominations who have yet to win are Belgium (7), Norway (6) and Greece (5) (though Israel is top overall with 10). The European countries with the most submissions who have yet to be *nominated* are Portugal (38) and Bulgaria (32).

    The UK’s low tally is partly due to the language restriction: its two nominees were both in Welsh (and, in once case, also Yiddish), though half of its submissions have been in other languages, such as Urdu, Turkish, Persian, Filipino and Chewa.

  2. Kinda sad as Oscars are went to be completely irrelevant as of lately there is no some kind of proper replacement for that kind of thing.
