Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Mexico have all had tremendous appearances at the Oscars. But there are some other Latin American countries that have more moderate success at the Oscars.

Those countries include Chile, Colombia and Uruguay.

Chile has only been nominated at the Oscars three times in its history. The first nomination came in 2008 when cinematographer Claudio Miranda got a nod for his work on "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." He lost.

But his luck would change four years later when he picked up the Best Cinematography award for his work on Ang Lee's "Life of Pi."

That same year, Chile would land its first ever nomination in the Best Foreign Language Film category with "No," starring Mexican Gael Garcia Bernal. Since 1990, Chile has submitted films in the category 19 times, thus emphasizing just how crucial this nomination was for the country.

Colombia has landed just two nominations, though one of them is rather historical. In 2004, Catalina Sandino Moreno became the first Colombian nominated for an Oscar and also became the first Actress to be nominated for a Spanish-language role in the Best Actress category for her role in "Maria Full of Grace." She did not win, but she provided Colombia with a big nod at the Oscars.
Three years later, Isabel Vega's short documentary "La Corona" landed a nomination in the Best Documentary Short category.

Colombia has made 23 submissions for the Best Foreign Language film, including "Maria Full of Grace," which was disqualified due to being directed by an American. The country has never managed a nomination.

Uruguay has notched three nominations at the Oscars, though one is unofficial.

That official one came in 1992 when Adolfo Aristarain's "A Place in the World" managed to climb into the final five of the Foreign Language Film category. It was Uruguay's first submission. However, it was eventually disqualified because it was deemed a product of Argentina instead of Uruguay and was thus submitted by the wrong country. It was eventually removed from the final ballot.

Uruguay has made 13 submissions for the category since then, but has had no luck. However, the country has landed nominations in the Cinematography and Best Original song categories. In 2003, Cesar Charlone got a nod for "City of God." And a year later, Jorge Drexler won "Al otro lado del rio," which was featured in "The Motorcycle Diaries."

Peru managed a single nomination for Best Foreign Language film in 2009 with its film "The Milk of Sorrow." The country has made 21 submissions since 1967. Venezuela has never notched a single Oscar nomination despite submitting for the Best Foreign Language film 24 times. "The Liberator," its 2014 submission managed to finish in the top nine but failed to get into the top five.

Bolivia started submitting for the Oscars in 1995 and has done so seven times. The country's most recent nomination was for "Forgotten."

Ecuador started its submissions in 2000 and has done so four times. In 2014, "Silence in Dreamland" was the country's choice to send for Oscar consideration.

Paraguay has never submitted a film.
