The first time a non-English speaking movie was nominated for the most coveted award at the Academy Awards, Best Picture, was 1931. The French comedy À Nous la Liberté didn't take the Oscar then, but it became an example of how foreign productions can be deemed exquisite and outstanding enough to compete for the grand prize. Many foreign-language movies have been nominated for Best Picture since 1931, though not many have won. Foreign language, by Academy standards, means any language that isn't English.
