The film was only submitted once to the Academy. Though the Academy did consider it, it did not make the final cut of the top five films in the world.

The American distributor claimed he called AMPAS and asked them if they would consider it and was told they would not because Palestine is not a country recognized by the Academy. In fact, the Academy spokesperson said that the film was not considered the first year because it was never submitted. The second time it WAS considered but didn't win a nomination. The AMPAS spokesman also said that it's not their job to decide who is a country and who isn't as the UN decides that. It should be noted that Taiwan and Hong Kong are also not recognized by the UN as "official countries" but have had films nominated by the Academy.
