I’m surprised to say but NO foreign language movie has ever won best picture.

   There definitely haven’t been any movies that are predominantly not in English that have won that category. I think the closest film that would fit would something like "Schindler’s List" or "The Godfather, Part II," and that would be pushing it.

   There haven’t even been many performances in other languages that won, just people like Sophia Loren, Roberto Benigni, and most recently, Marion Cotillard.
