 In recent years, the Academy's definition of the term "country" has caused debate.The submissions for the 75th Academy Awards, for instance, became shrouded in controversy when it was reported that Humbert Balsan, producer of the critically acclaimed Palestinian film "Divine Intervention" (2002), tried to submit his picture to the Academy but was told it could not run for the Foreign Language Film Award because the State of Palestine is not recognized by the Academy in its rules.Because the Academy previously had accepted films from other political entities such as Hong Kong, the rejection of "Divine Intervention" triggered accusations of double standards from pro-Palestinian activists.
