| Description | Proposing a better way to capture and catalog international submissions to the Academy Awards. |
|---|---|
| Data type | Item |
| Domain | film (Q11424) |
| Example 1 | The Teacher's Lounge (Q116251270)country (P17)Germany (Q183) |
| Example 2 | Kwaidan (Q133488)country (P17)Japan (Q17) |

| Planned use | tracking international submissions |
Motivation[edit]
Countries can submit one film annually to the Academy Awards for consideration. Right now, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) does not keep an external database of these records other than producing a list of the final submissions. The most comprehensive listing of these submissions is maintained on the English Wikipedia articles related to the submissions.
This proposal creates a space to capture and maintain these submissions in Wikidata under the film. These submissions are an important way of understanding and recognizing international film and adding them to WikiData would contribute to a rich and queryable dataset.
Based on the English Wikipedia articles, there have been 2,883 international submissions to the Academy Awards. Example table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_submissions_to_the_83rd_Academy_Awards_for_Best_Foreign_Language_Film
Once created, SPARQL queries could generate the tables used to display International Submissions and their statuses. This would create a better way to query and track international submissions and perform data analysis on the award process.
Four proposed property values:
- Submission Ceremony: AMPAS Ceremony of Submission
- Submission Country: Country submitting the film (countries can only submit 1 film and can't submit together, so this can differ from the country/countries involved in production)
- Submission Title: Title used in the submission (AMPAS generally asks for an English title)
- Submission Status: Status of the submission
Current Submission Statuses (a nomination can only be in 1 of these statuses at any given time)
- Won Academy Award
- Nominated
- Nominated and Disqualified
- Shortlisted
- Not Nominated
- Disqualified
- Not on Final List (country reports submitting the film, but AMPAS didn't include it on the final submissions)
- Withdrawn
- To Be Determined (used until the final submission list is made public)
Note 1: these statuses are in alignment with the AMPAS International Submission process and the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. Separate from this process, an international film can be considered for other awards.
Note 2: these statuses are also in alignment with prior iterations of the award and the related submission process, like Best Foreign Film (prior to 2020).
