List of submissions to the 49th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film

The following 23 films, all from different countries, were submitted for the 49th Academy Awards in the category Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film which took place in 1977. The highlighted titles were the five nominated films, which came from Côte d'Ivoire, East Germany, France, Italy and Poland. The Côte d'Ivoire became the first sub-Saharan African country to submit a film to the competition, and it ended up winning the Oscar for the dark comedy Black and White in Color.[1] It is likely the film would not have even been accepted under today's rules, since the director was French and the film was a majority French production. The Ivorians have not submitted a single film for the Foreign Language Oscar since.

Japan failed to submit a film, for the first and only time. East Germany received its only nomination ever for Jacob the Liar.
