第85届奥斯卡金像奖最佳外语片角逐名单

本条目为第85届奥斯卡金像奖最佳外语片角逐名单。美国电影艺术与科学学院自1956年设立最佳外语片奖以来，每年都邀请各国电影界提交他们当年度最佳的影片参与评选。学院每年颁发此奖给美国境外制作且主要对白非英语的电影长片，由外语片奖委员会审核所有提交作品并监督整个过程。 本次提交的所有影片必须在2011年10月1日至2012年9月30日期间于各自国家公映。2012年10月8日，学院公布了共计71部符合资格的电影名单，其中9部入围同年12月的决选。获得正式提名的5部电影于2013年1月10日公布，最终由奥地利导演迈克尔·哈内克执导的《爱》胜出。 本届为肯尼亚首次参选，提交作品为《寻梦内罗毕（英语：Nairobi Half Life）》，柬埔寨则携《失去的爱（英语：Lost Loves (film)）》时隔18年再度参与角逐。 玻利维亚的评选委员会曾提议让豪尔赫·圣希内斯（英语：Jorge Sanjinés）执导的《起义者》（Insurgentes）代表该国参选，但因为制片方没有足够时间备齐申请材料而放弃。 古巴和卢森堡的评选委员会均以当年没有适合的影片为由决定不参加评选。 为抗议发布于YouTube的反伊斯兰教美国电影《穆斯林的无知》，伊朗的评选委员会原计划抵制当年度奥斯卡颁奖典礼，后于2012年9月21日确认参选，并一度派出礼萨·米尔卡里米（英语：Reza Mirkarimi）执导的《一块方糖（英语：A Cube of Sugar）》参赛，然而在抵制上升到国家层面后取消。 History of the Academy Awards – Page 2.
