The award has been handed out since 1999. Between 1984 and 1996, a
Robert Award for Best Foreign Film was awarded. Then was split into two awards:
Robert Award for Best Non-American Film (from 1997) and the
Robert Award for Best American Film (from 1999). The names of these categories were changed in 2019 to the Robert Award for Best English Language Film and
Robert Award for Best Non-English Language Film. == Honorees ==
