List of Thai submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kingdom of Thailand has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1984, when it became the second independent nation in Southeast Asia to join the competition, after the Philippines. The award is given annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue. [1]
Over the years, Thailand has submitted fifteen films to AMPAS for Oscar consideration but thus far no Thai candidate has received an Oscar nomination. Four submissions were directed by Chatrichalerm Yukol, a member of the Thai nobility, and three were directed by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang.
[edit] Submissions
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has invited the film industries of various countries to submit their best film for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1956.[1] The Foreign Language Film Award Committee oversees the process and reviews all the submitted films. Following this, they vote via secret ballot to determine the five nominees for the award.
Thai Oscar submissions are selected annually by the Federation of National Film Associations of Thailand. All submissions were made in Thai.
