List of submissions to the 84th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film

This is a list of submissions to the 84th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) 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] Nine shortlisted contenders were revealed a week before the announcement of the Oscar nominations.[2]

The deadline for all countries to send in their submissions was 3 October 2011.[3] The submitted motion pictures must be first released theatrically in their respective countries between 1 October 2010 and 30 September 2011.[2]

On 13 October, AMPAS announced that 63 countries had been accepted to participate in the competition for the 2012 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar,[4] including a first-time submission from New Zealand.[5][6]

On 18 January 2012 the nine shortlisted entries were announced.[7] Six days later, the five nominees were announced.[8] The Iranian entry, A Separation, was announced as the winner at the 84th Academy Awards on 26 February 2012.[9]
