Director Samuel Maoz’s controversial and critically acclaimed feature film had been shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film, but is not among the final nominees.

They are: “A Fantastic Woman” (Chile), “The Insult” (Lebanon), “Loveless” (Russia), “On Body and Soul” (Hungary) and “The Square” (Sweden).
