Actually "Amour" is co-produced by France, Austria and Germany. It's a French film directed by Austrian director Michael Haneke. It's this year's Austrian entry to the category of Best Foreign Language Film. However, it's also qualified for other awards such as Best Film and Best Director because of having enough screenings in the US or other factors, and some Academy voters think that it is a very good film. Thus it is nominated for Best Picture also.
