The documentary celebrated by the criticism No other country About the forced relocation of a municipality in the West Bank, is still without a remark. But film made by Palestinian and Israeli activists was considered a favorite for the Oscar For the best documentary. And he got it too. Although some feared that No other country the voters would split too politically.
When the filmmaker quartet entered the stage to accept the price, the Palestinian director Basel ADRA was the first word. He hoped that his daughter would not grow up in a landscape of “ethnic cleansing”.
Then one of his Israeli comrades, Yuval Abraham, stepped to the microphone. Proved that the film had been shot in the spirit of intercultural love and cooperation. The country in which he lives, however, is one of the freedom of movement and Adra of one of military law. Abraham offered that there is a way forward and that “foreign policy in this country contributes to this, [diesen Weg] to block. There is a different way. It is not too late for life and the living. “
For an evening on which politics was conspicuous (apart from Daryl Hannah, the “Ukraine”, the “Ukraine”), the explanation felt like an urgently needed nod to the world outside of the theater.
Gal Gadot was also present at the Oscars. The Israeli actress was planned as a presenter, but had changed the category for an unknown reason. She now stepped onto the stage to hand over the Academy Award for the best visual effects together with Rachel Zegler.
Many suspect that Gadot wanted to prevent the category with the documentary Oscar to hand over to a Palestinian filmmaker.
“I think we know why Gal Gadot didn’t present the price for the best documentary”
Gadot served with the Israeli forces in the 2000s and is considered a loud supporter in her home country, especially in the Gaza War.
“I think we know why Gal Gadot no longer presented the price for the best documentary,” one wrote. Another posted: “Shouldn’t Gal Gadot hand over the price for the best documentary? Why did she mysteriously disappear? “
“Gal Gadot has withdrawn from the presentation! LOL, a bad actress and a coward, ”said one, while another suspected:“ I thought Gal Gadot would present the Oscar for the best documentary? I guess she knew that no other country would win and said: ‘Fuck it’.
