Blink, and you might have missed it. In case you did, here's a little information on where Hollywood's head is at these days...

These are this year's Oscar nominees for Best Foreign Film:

"Don't Tell," Italy

"Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas)," France

"Paradise Now," Palestine

"Sophie Scholl — The Final Days," Germany

"Tsotsi," South Africa

See, "Paradise Now" isn't just a Palestinian film. It's a film by the Palestinian Authority.

And here's part of the synopsis:

"The next morning, as scheduled, Said and Khaled are given neat haircuts and suits. They each make a video explaining to their families why they've chosen this path. Explosives are strapped on, and they are warned that trying to remove the belts themselves will result in detonation. When they're brought to a hole in the fence surrounding Nablus, they are intercepted by Israeli troops."

This movie was "a hit on the festival circuit," and was included in the Lincoln Center's 2005 New York Film Festival!

There have only been rare points in my life that I've been left speechless.

This is one of them.
