Oscars 2013: 'Amour' wins Best Foreign Language Film, could it also take Best Picture?

Against a strong field of fellow Foreign Language Film nominees, Michael Haneke's "Amour" just won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar for the country of Austria. Yup, that's right - that Oscar is not considered to be won by a specific individual, and while it is accepted by the winning film's director, it is an award for the entire country that submitted the film. Haneke's deeply-felt tale of an aging couple come to terms with the end of their lives has been a favorite of critics during this awards season, and its win was almost assured from the moment it was nominated.

While Foreign Language Film nominees are still eligible to be nominated for Best Picture (as long as they have opened in the United States within the designated time period), only a handful have pulled out nominations in both categories - "Z," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and "Life is Beautiful" - and no film has ever won both.

Could we be in for a total Oscar upset and some history-making wins with an "Amour" for Best Picture win? Well, probably not - but it's certainly fun to think about.
