On September 27, 2007, XXY was chosen to represent Argentina at the Oscars, for the Best Foreign Language Film category. In a rare sweep, it was also chosen to represent Argentina at Spain's Goya Awards, for Best Foreign Film in Spanish. The tradition has been for two separate films to be sent to one of the awards each. The runner-up this year, in both cases, was La señal (2007), also starring (and co-directed by) Ricardo Darín.
The name of the movie "XXY" is in reference to the homonymous condition. Also called "Klinefelter syndrome".
Although in the movie Alex (Inés Efron) is 15 years old, the actress was 22.
Official submission of Argentina for the 'Best Foreign Language Film' category of the 80th Academy Awards in 2008.
