"India missed out on only a single year " do you really just mean "On only one occasion did India did not submit a film"?
- Yup! DO you want to rephrase the sentence? —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 06:47, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

" Tamil films " and "Tamil actor" both link just "Tamil" but to different articles, could be confusing.

Language(s) seem to be using the lang templates which puts them in small text and parentheses, any reason why normal, linked languages aren't used?
- It was listed in that fashion even before I started working on the list. Do you want to change it to linked languages? —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 06:47, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think it would be more appropriate. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:33, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need Category:Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film as it's already using a more refined category of Category:Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award submissions by country.

The Best Foreign Language Film category was not created until 1956; however, between 1947 and 1955, the Academy presented a non-competitive Honorary Award for the best foreign language films released in the United States. - Relevance? Also, this paragraph kinda leaps all about.
- I think this adds some relevance to this list, as it gives an overview about this category. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 04:09, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
when they controversially - India is a country, not a person. You're likely looking for whatever body is in charge of selecting the nomination.
- Done. FFI is the body —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 04:09, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The 1957 Hindi film Mother India was India's first submission. The film made it to the final shortlist and was nominated alongside four other films in the category. It came close to winning the Academy Award but lost to Nights of Cabiria by a single vote. - Ultra short paragraph, should be merged somewhere.

In 2011, the jury of the 58th National Film Awards made a recommendation that movies winning Best Film at the annual National Film Awards should be the official entry. - How was this received?
