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. Additionally, this change makes American films primarily in another language eligible for this award, including winners like ''Letters from Iwo Jima'' and '' Minari'' as well as nominees such as ''Apocalypto'', '' The Kite Runner'', and '' In the Land of Blood and Honey''.

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