List of submissions to the 63rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film

The 63rd Academy Awards, which were held on March 25, 1991, [cite web | title = Academy Awards Ceremonies | publisher = Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences | url = http://www.oscars.org/aboutacademyawards/ceremonies/ceremonies07.html | accessdate = 2008-09-07] saw 37 countries submit films for competition in the Best Foreign Language Film category.

Perhaps the most unusual submission was the 1981 Romanian film "Carnival Scenes", which had been banned in Romania and was not released in local theatres under 1990. Since the film had never been released, the Academy initially accepted it as a "new" film. However, while the film was listed on AMPAS' Fall 1991 press release, it was not listed in a 2007 updated list. It is unknown whether the film actually screened or was disqualified.

"Ju Dou" became the first Chinese film to be nominated for an Oscar, despite China's flip-flop over whether it even wanted the film in the competition. The film was officially selected by China's national film board, which later unsuccessfully tried to persuade the Academy to withdraw the film.
