Notes
Colombia's original submission, Maria Full of Grace was disqualified because the Academy determined that there was too much English dialogue in the film for it to meet Academy requirements.[6] Colombia submitted El Rey as a replacement.[5]
Hong Kong's submission, Running on Karma , was disqualified by the Academy, which cited problems with the film's release date.[9]
Ukraine's submission, A Driver for Vera , was disqualified because the Academy determined that the film was primarily Russian-produced, and thus not eligible as Ukraine's submission.[5]
