Just cause you make a movie about women doesn’t mean you should get an Oscar. There were better directors and acted movies out there (in the opinion of the voters). That’s why it didn’t make the cut.
I personally didn’t even like the movie and definitely don’t think it deserves an award for best directing or acting.
Israel, the country that has been in a perpetual state of war for the last 70 years with its own people and neighbors suddenly wanting peace? I don’t see it. This has always been how netanyahu operates.
