Four of Eric Khoo's films had been submitted for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. Three were not nominated, while his first submission, Be With Me, was disqualified.

Singapore has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film[nb 1] on a fairly regular basis since 2005, although they submitted a film while still being a British colony in 1959. The award is handed out annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue.[3] The academy selection committee reviews all the submitted films, and secret ballot voting is used to determine the five nominees.

As of 2021, a total of fifteen films have been submitted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but none has yet received an Oscar nomination. The director whose films have been submitted the most is Eric Khoo, although none had been nominated; one was disqualified for being more than 50% in English and not in a Foreign Language.[4] Two other submissions were large-scale musicals: the 1959 musical-drama The Kingdom and the Beauty, as well as the 2007 881.
