Colombia has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1980. The award is handed out annually by the United States Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue. The Colombian submission is decided annually by the ''Consejo Nacional de Cinematografía'', a branch of the Colombian Ministry of Culture.〔http://www.mincultura.gov.co/index.php?idcategoria=8480〕 As of 2014, Colombia has entered the competition 24 times, but has never yet been nominated for an Academy Award. ==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. 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.〔 Below is a list of the films that have been submitted by Colombia for review by the Academy for the award by year and the respective Academy Awards ceremony. In 2004, Colombia announced that it had selected Maria, Full of Grace as its Oscar submission, and the film was touted as an early front-runner to win the award. However, the film was disqualified by AMPAS which said that the film, a drama which had won Best Colombian Feature at the Cartagena Film Festival, featuring mostly Colombian characters and starring Colombian actress Catalina Sandino Moreno in the title role, did not qualify as a majority Colombian production because it was written and directed by an American, Joshua Marston. After an unsuccessful appeal, Colombia was allowed to send ''El Rey'' as a replacement.〔http://www.indiewire.com/article/foreign_oscar_quandary_academy_nixes_maria_colombia_adds_el_rey_and_other_s/〕 Although it was disqualified, however, Catalina Sandino Moreno was eventually nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and holds the title as the only Colombian nominated to an acting category. Directors Sergio Cabrera, Ciro Guerra, Carlos Moreno and Jorge Alí Triana have each had their films selected two times, but none have been nominated. Triana's son Rodrigo had one of his films selected in 2006. The actor with the most appearances in the Colombian submissions is renowned Colombian actress Vicky Hernández who co-starred in five of the national nominees. All Colombian submissions were filmed primarily in Spanish. All submissions from 1996-2009 are available on DVD with English subtitles in the United States, with the exception of ''The Debt'' and ''Time Out''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Colombian submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
