One response to “Pro Palestine ‘Paradise Now’ Petition”
Well, i’m not much of a political enthusiast and i wonder, why do we have to politisize everything? i don’t think the Academy with withdraw the movie’s nomination after it’s been announced, plus didn’t the movie already win a Golden Globe unde the name Palestine and not Palestinian Authority? so its already out there, i don’t see what the big deal is. I think the academy commitee are mature enough to recognize right from wrong and they won’t interfer with the Movie’s name or catagory since like i said it’s already won an award before, and i doubt they want to create any controversy.
