Waltz With Bashir -Israel's Probable Oscar Submission

[Thanks to reader Yonatan for this news]

Waltz With Bashir (trailer below) won 6 out of the 7 Ophirs (Israeli's Oscars) it was nominated for. That's usually the sign that it'll be the Oscar submission for the country.



We'll wait to see if it fares the same (animation nomination) or better than Persepolis. No animated film has ever been nominated in the Foreign Language Oscar race but there's generally at least one a year submitted as of late. NOTE: The Foreign Film Oscar pages will be completed updated with all 25 official submissions thus far, as soon as I have a moment to breathe: Thursday morning (yes, I'm turning blue)
