The restriction that each country can have only one nominee often sparks grumbling, since India produces about 1000 films a year, and China, Japan and France each produce about 400. Nevertheless, only one from each nation can be nominated for best foreign-language picture.
對於「一個國家只能有一部作品入圍」的規則，常引發各國抱怨，因為估計印度寶萊塢一年生產 1,000 部電影，中、日、法各約有 400 部電影，但不管各國電影生產量的多寡，就只能選出一部作品參加競賽。
