Poland's IDA wins the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. This is the 10th nomination for the country.

In IDA, a young woman preparing to become a nun is sent from her convent home into the secular world to spend several days with her only relative. The trip will bring Anna into contact with experiences outside her sheltered world, and will lead her to knowledge that may shake her sense of her own identity.

Other nominees in the category were:

"Leviathan,' Russia

"Tangerines,' Estonia

"Timbuktu,' Mauritania

"Wild Tales,' Argentina
