Poll: Is Oscars' Greatest Prize A More Worldly Award?
As of February 8th, 2022, 94 years of Oscar Best Picture nominations have yielded 571 Anglo-based produced or co-produced nominees, a stunning 98.3%. For purely non-Anglo productions, that averages out to be about 1 nomination every 10 years. While there is still work to be done, the Academy's recent strides to make filmdom's greatest prize a more worldly award have not gone unnoticed. This poll is dedicated to the 10 purely non-Anglo-based productions or 1.7% that bucked the odds to secure an Oscar Best Picture nomination.
Which of these Oscar-nominated Best Picture movies with a rare non-Anglo production* origin is your favorite? *All the main production companies must be from a country not descended from the British Isles.
Anglosphere Countries: Europe (British Isles: U.K., Ireland, Scotland, etc.), Americas (U.S.A., Canada, Bahamas, Barbados. Belize, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, etc), Australasia (Australia, New Zealand) and Africa (South Africa, etc).
