Until 1986, it was known as the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film, meaning that any non-American film could be honoured. In 1987, it was changed to Best Foreign ''Language'' Film, so that non-American English-language films are now considered for the Best Motion Picture awards.

American films have never been eligible for th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
