The Best Foreign Feature film category ponders the international film-making community. It provides alternative visions of how cinema is made, and it offers a glimpse at other countries’ views on the world or particular historical events. Argentina, 1985 is one of the top runner-ups for the Oscar nominees this year, a film about how Argentina took the leaders of its recent dictatorial government to court for their crimes. The film produced by Amazon won its first accolades in San Sebastián and Venice festivals and has recently been nominated for the BAFTAs and won a Golden Globe.
