Just look at Shakespeare in Love beating Saving Private Ryan. - which I thought was the wrong choice btw. I'm not sure about "Private Ryan" either but SiL wouldn't have been my first choice.
I have to say that I'm surprised that foreign films get as much recognition as they already do. I'm always curious about how they get distributed afterwards. Even the "successful ones" feel like they won't get a huge audience. There are exceptions like "The Artist" but the language barrier isn't exactly a hurdle if you don't have any:)
