Japan Academy Film Prize For Outstanding Foreign Language Film
Every year since its inception, the Japanese Academy has awarded the Japan Academy Film Prize for Outstanding Foreign Language Film (). The year that any given film is nominated is not based on the film's domestic release date but rather on the date it is released in Japan. As delays of over four months are not uncommon, many films are nominated in Japan the year following their release to the Japanese market (e.g., ''Million Dollar Baby'' won the American Academy Award for Best Picture for films made in 2004, but the Japanese award, based on its local release date, is for 2005). In fact, not one of the five films nominated for the 2007 Academy Award for Best Picture had been released in Japan by February 15, 2008, the date of the Japan Academy Prize Ceremony. Although the 2007 recipient of this award, '' Letters from Iwo Jima'', a film almost entirely in Japanese, would not seem to meet the qualification of a "Foreign Language Film", the actual Japanese title of the award, makes ...
