65 International Titles

Thought this article was interesting. 65 foreign titles are feigning for an Oscar. This shows that international production has gone up, and that the recession that affected the industry abroad is starting to disappear. Also, I find it interesting that international titles are "fighting to be recognized" by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Does this mean that more interntation productions are trying to be more mainstream, and dropping the art-house?
