International Oscar Showdown 2014: 12 Years A Slave vs The Great Beauty

The 86th Academy Awards winners for Best Picture and Best International Feature Film were 12 Years A Slave and The Great Beauty

Bong Joon Ho’s movie Parasite made history at the 2020 Academy Awards, becoming the first non-English-language film to win Best Picture.

In this series, in reverse chronological order, I compare previous years’ Best Picture and Best International Feature to see how many other foreign-language films ought to have been given the top gong.
