The Big Picture
- The Oscars are often focused on American cinema, but there have been international films that have won in regular categories, like Marie-Louise in 1945.
- Marie-Louise's win predates the creation of the Best International Feature Film category, showing that international recognition was a rarity at that time.
- While there have been international wins at the Oscars over the years, the Academy still has a long way to go in recognizing the diversity and wonders of worldwide cinema.
