Paul Wiener wonders further:

It's not.  It's simply being considered as Best Film (foreign or
domestic).  There's nothing (but parochialism and the box office) to
keep any and all foreign language films from also being considered in
this category.  Usually, though, they are treated as separate
entitities.
