AMPAS also has named five finalists for the competition's 21st annual honorary foreign lingo category. The finalists -- from the Netherlands, France, Mexico, Germany and Poland -- were selected out of 27 submissions from 23 countries. Winners will be announced later this month after a vote by Academy members.
Gold medal winners will walk away with $5,000, silver medalists will take home $3,000, and bronze medalists $2,000, up from last year's $2,000, $1,500 and $1,000. Winners will be flown to L.A. for a week of industry-related activities before the awards ceremony.
