Yugoslavia submitted films for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film category from 1958 to 1991. The award is handed out annually by the United States Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue. It was not created until the 1956 Academy Awards, in which a competitive Academy Award of Merit, known as the Best Foreign Language Film Award, was created for non-English speaking films, and has been given annually since.
Yugoslavia received eight nominations receiving nine nominations between 1958–1985, but none of them won the award.
After 1992, the country was officially dissolved and succeeded by Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia. All of them have been submitting films regularly ever since.
Submissions The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has invited the film industries of various countries to submit their best film for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1956. The Foreign Language Film Award Committee oversees the process and reviews all the submitted films. Following this, they vote via secret ballot to determine the five nominees for the award.
Below is a list of the films that have been submitted by the Yugoslavia for review by the academy for the award by year and the respective Academy Awards ceremony.
