Austria had submitted 42 films for consideration for the award that, until April 2019, was known as best foreign language film.
Two Austrian films won:
The Counterfeiters in 2007
Amour in 2012
Two Austrian films were nominated
’38 — Vienna Before the Fall in 1968
Revanche in 2008
Cache was deemed ineligible not because it was found to be predominantly in English, but because it was predominantly in a different language other than the official language of the submitting country, namely French. At the time, that was against the rules.
