Would it be better to simply say "Non-English language films nominated for Academy Awards"? For example, Dances With Wolves contains large amounts of Lakota and Pawnee dialog, but those aren't really "foreign" to the US.Sheila1988 (talk) 00:07, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

There are three categories of short films which are not included in this list Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film, and Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. I would like to add these categories to this page. ErinHowarth (talk) 21:00, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Short Film, Animated (Draft)

The Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film has been awarded since the 5th Academy Awards (with different names), covering the year 1931–32, to the present. The first non-English-language international short to win was Zagreb Film's Ersatz (The Substitute) in 1961.
