 Three years later, however, another Palestinian-Arab film, "Paradise Now" (2005), succeeded in getting nominated for the Foreign Language Film Award.The nomination also caused protests, this time from pro-Israeli groups in the United States, which objected to the Academy's use of the name Palestine on its official website to designate the film's submitting country.After intense lobbying from pro-Israeli groups, the Academy decided to designate "Paradise Now" as a submission from the Palestinian Authority, a move that was decried by the film's director Hany Abu-Assad.
