- ^ Although Parasite was the first film with a non-English script to win Best Picture at the Oscars, it is not to be confused with the first foreign film (produced by a company of a country that does not have English as its primary language) to win Best Picture, which was achieved by The Artist in 2012. The French-produced film was largely silent with French intertitles and contained a few spoken lines in English.[9] The Academy dictates foreign language as the main qualification for international film, hence The Artist did not qualify.[10] Further, while prior winners The Last Emperor and Slumdog Millionaire include significant amounts of non-English dialogue, they were considered domestic productions.[9]
- ^ The previous two films to win both awards were The Lost Weekend (1945) and Marty (1955).
