Last year was a turning point for the Oscar category which had for decades been known as best foreign language film.
First came the name change. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided the word "foreign" was starting to feel out of date.
Then, the newly-named best international feature award went to the South Korean satire Parasite. A hit with audiences and critics around the world, it won a total of four Academy Awards including best picture.
Bong Joon-ho's film took more than $250m (£182m) at the worldwide box-office and challenged the assumption that this category is basically arthouse fare for a niche audience.
Rule changes now allow all Academy members to participate in the voting process, not just a specialist panel. But the two basic requirements for the international feature category have not altered: countries can still submit a single film and it is permitted very limited English-language content.
The 93 entries came down to the final five, which are outlined here.
