- Best picture nominees include Norway’s Sentimental Value and Brazil’s The Secret Agent, matching the record for international titles in the top race.
- Performances from non‑English international productions appeared in every acting category for the first time, including Renate Reinsve, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Stellan Skarsgård and Wagner Moura.
- Stellan Skarsgård became the first Supporting Actor nominee for a role in an international production, joining Sentimental Value castmates Elle Fanning and Renate Reinsve among the acting nominees.
- Wagner Moura earned a Best Actor nod for The Secret Agent, becoming the first Brazilian actor ever nominated for an Oscar.
