After Mexico, Argentina is the Latin American country with greatest representation at the Academy Awards. The nation just received its 34th nomination as "Wild Tales" picked up a nod for the Best Foreign Film category. But what other Argentines have succeeded in film's biggest awards show?

Argentina's seven nominations in the foreign language film category are second only to Mexico among Latin American nations. The country got its first honor for the category in 1974 with "The Truce" and landed its second nod 10 years later with "Camila." "Camila" was particularly notable because it was the first foreign language nomination to be directed by a Latin American woman - María Luisa Bemberg.

In 1985, Argentina picked up its first win in the category with "The Official Story," thus becoming the first Latin American film to win the foreign language film category. The country's strong presence continued with a nomination in 1988 and 2001, but there were no victories until 2009 when "The Secret in Their Eyes" picked up Argentina's second foreign language film Oscar; with the two wins, Argentina is the only Latin American country to win in the category. "Wild Tales" could potentially make it three.

The country's other major claim to fame at the Oscars is in the Original Score category where it is the only Latin American nation to pick up nominations. But the really clincher here is that Argentines have been nominated 10 times and have won three times. Lalo Schifrin was nominated five times between 1968 and 1984 while Luis Enriquez Bacalov got his first nomination in 1966 and won for his second in 1995 with "Il Postino." Then Gustavo Santaolalla won two consecutive Oscars for best score for "Brokeback Mountain" and "Babel" in two consecutive years, making him the first and only Argentine to win two Oscars in the same category.

Lalo Schifrin also obtained a nomination in the best original song category; the only other Argentine to manage a nod in this category was Jorge Calandrelli in 200 for "Wo hu cang long."

"The Official Story" is the only Argentine film nominated for Best Original Screenplay and is only one of three Latin American films nominated in the category. In the best adapted screenplay, two Argentines are nominated alongside Mexican Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for this year's "Birdman." A historical gem is the 1930/31 nomination for Harry d'Abbadie d'Arrast" for the now defunct best story category for the film "Laughter."

Hector Babenco made history as the first Latin American director nominated for Best Director. The Argentine-born Brazilian helmer got a nod in 1985 for "Kiss of the Spider Woman," but did not manage a victory. No other Argentine director has come close to that feat.

Argentines have been unlucky in the acting categories with only two nominations in the Supporting Actress race. In 1987, Norma Aleandro managed the nod for "Gaby: A True Story." Argentine-born French actress Berenice Bejo landed a similar nomination in 2011 for her turn in the Oscar winning film "The Artist."

Eugenio Zanetti has been the country's only representative in the Art Direction category with nominations in 1995 and 1998; he won the award in 1995 for his work on "Restoration." In visual effects, Pablo Helman has also landed two nominations for his work on "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" and "War of the Worlds."

"The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo" was also nominated in the 1985 Best Documentary Feature category while "Luther Metke at 94" was a competitor in the 1980 Best Documentary Short Subject competition. "Logorama" did pick up a victory for Best Animated Short Film in 2009.

Overall, Argentina has managed seven victories at the Oscars; an eighth could come about on Feb. 22 if "Wild Tales" wins Best Foreign Language film.
