This category includes all 77 films which won either the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film or one of its predecessor awards. Although this category is designed for film titles and not individuals, an exception is made for a single film, the initial winner in competition, La Strada (which was released in Italy in 1954 and became Italy's entry at the 29th Academy Awards in March 1957), since the names of La Strada's producers were explicitly mentioned in the nomination.
