How could a non-American movie win Academy Awards in other categories then "Best foreign language film"?

I remember: Many years ago, there was the German movie called "The Boat". Why got the film so much nominations and not only in the category "Best foreign language film"?How could a non-American movie win Academy Awards in other categories then "Best foreign language film"?"Slumdog Millionaire" was, in no way that I could figure, an American film, either. Neither was "Gandhi," nor "Lawrence of Arabia," nor ...



The Academy members just give those awards out; they don't really answer to anyone for their choice.How could a non-American movie win Academy Awards in other categories then "Best foreign language film"?
There have been lots of non-American films that have been nominated for, and have won, awards in categories other than "Best Foreign Language Film."



Just last year, "The White Ribbon" was nominated for cinematography. In 2008, Marion Cotillard won for "La Vie en Rose" (and definitely deserved it!), and that film also won for best makeup.



In 2007, Penelope Cruz was up for "Volver," and both Adriana Barraza and Rinko Kikuchi were up for "Babel." The same year, "Pan's Labyrinth" won for art direction, makeup, AND cinematography.



And let's not forget Roberto Benigni's win for "Life is Beautiful," which also won best score, back in the 1990s.How could a non-American movie win Academy Awards in other categories then "Best foreign language film"?just in the same way that a movie can have best film editing and best visual effects.

its still a movie. foreign language just means that it is the best film, of the nominees in that category, in a foreign language, it doesn't stop it having best visual effects or whateverHow could a non-American movie win Academy Awards in other categories then "Best foreign language film"?
You answered your own question. "Categories", there are many of them. Best Director, Best Screenplay, etc.... The overall best movie/film of the year can be from any country.

Hence, one movie can be nominated in multiple categories and win all of them.How could a non-American movie win Academy Awards in other categories then "Best foreign language film"?It could be a British film?
