ok so foreign films can be a bit odd date wise in terms of when they show up at the Academy Awards so I’ll post this here but you need to go to your 1985 list and update the count there:
Best Director
Nominee: Lasse Hallström – My Life as a Dog
Best Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium
Nominee: My Life as a Dog – Lasse Hallström, Reidar Jonsson, Brasse Brännström, and Per Berglund based on the novel Mitt liv som hund by Reidar Jönsson

sorry a bit sloppy with these Oscar nominations that were missing in that I didn’t state clearly which were nominees or which were winners in each comment. 🙁
