List of entries for Best Foreign Language Film for the 1993 Academy Awards

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following 33 films, all from different countries, were nominations in the Best Foreign Language Film category for the 1993 Academy Awards . The highlighted titles were the five ultimately nominated films, which come from Denmark, Germany, France, Russia and Uruguay.

The Uruguayan film A Place in This World was disqualified when it became known that the film was largely an Argentine production. The film was then removed from the ballot, which is why the director of the film, Adolfo Aristarain , sued the Academy.

For the first time, proposals from Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia and Russia were submitted for this award.
