LIVE POLL: Golden Globes 2024 - Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language

You might be off about the qualification points. According to Wikipedia:

The official rules for the award state that submitted films must be at least 70 minutes in length and have at least 51% of their dialogue in a language other than English, and that they be "first released in their country of origin during the 14-months period from November 1 to December 31, prior to the Awards". Films that were not released in their country of origin due to censorship qualify with a one-week release in the U.S. during the specified period.

Basic rules remain: a Non-English Language Motion Pictures must be a motion picture drama or musical or comedy with more than 50% non-English dialogue. The HFPA may request a continuity script to verify that motion pictures entered as best non-English language motion picture meet the minimum requirement for non- English language dialogue; failure to provide a requested script in a timely manner will result in the entry being rejected.

This year, as previously stated, Non-English language motion pictures also may qualify for the Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy awards if they meet the eligibility requirements for those awards (i.e. release in the Los Angeles area during the relevant eligibility period).

Animated motion pictures, however, are not eligible for the Best Motion Picture — Non-English Language award. However, animated non-English language motion pictures are subject to the release, eligibility and screening requirements set forth below for other non-English language motion pictures.

These requirements are:
The picture must be first released in its country of origin during the 15-month period from October 1 to December 31 prior to the awards show.

The country of origin of a non-English language motion picture is the country of the entity credited for the production of the motion picture. Each motion picture may have multiple countries of origin, provided that each country of origin must have a role in the production of the motion picture (filming location, setting, residence of key personnel such as producers, actors, directors, etc.) in addition to providing financing for the motion picture.

· Non-English-language motion pictures that originate outside the United States need not have been released in the United States to qualify for the Best Motion Picture – Non- English Language award.

You seem to be right, I was reading a rule that only applied to USA films.

This is the correct rule`:

Perhaps, Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell was not nominated because it was not submitted for consideration, or perhaps the Golden Globes committee did not like it. We will never know.

@Maxence_G​ That's for Best Picture Drama or Comedy and not Non-English Language Motion Pictures.
