 Neither film earned a nomination.The rule change, however, did not affect the eligibility of non-English speaking American films, which are still disqualified from the category due to their nationality.Because of this, a Japanese-language film like "Letters from Iwo Jima" (2006) or a Mayan-language film like "Apocalypto" (2006) were unable to compete for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, even though they were both nominated for (and, in the case of "Letters from Iwo Jima", won) the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, which does not have similar nationality restrictions.
