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 award was not created until the 1956 Academy Awards, in which a competitive Academy Award of Merit, known as the Best Foreign Language Film Award, was created for non-English speaking films, and has been given annually since.Previously, in 1948, Argentina participated with Luis César Amadori's Dios se lo pague for an Honorary Award to the best foreign language film released in the United States, making it the first Argentine film to be presented in the Academy Awards. It lost with The Bicycle Thief. These awards were not competitive, as there were no nominees but simply a winner every year that was voted on by the Board of Governors of the Academy. As of 2015, seven Argentine films have been nominated by the Academy for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Two of these, Luis Puenzo's The Official Story and Juan José Campanella's The Secret In Their Eyes, won the award. Argentina is the only Latin American country ever to win an Oscar.Nine Argentine directors have had multiple films submitted to the Academy for review. Of these, Marcelo Piñeyro and Pablo Trapero have been selected a record three times, and only Juan José Campanella has managed multiple Oscar nominations. Since The Official Story took home the award at the 1986 Oscars, Argentina has never failed to submit a film to the competition.Since 2001, a majority of the selected films (seven out of fifteen) have starred Ricardo Darín in a leading role.Among all the countries that have received the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Argentina (with two awards) is one of two Spanish-speaking countries that have done so, the other being Spain (four awards).The Argentina nominee is selected annually by the Academia de las Artes y Ciencias Cinematográficas de la Argentina. The selection committee holds separate votes to decide which film goes to the Oscars and, in a separate vote, which film goes to the Spanish Goya Awards."@en }
