Indicating the impact that animated films have had on the industry, in early 2006, the Hollywood Foreign Press announced that a Golden Globe would be awarded for the Best Animated Feature starting in 2007 at the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

 israelinsider: politics: Golden Globe award for Palestinian film gets two thumbs down at home
The Palestinian film "Paradise Now," which explores the lives of a pair of suicide bombers and just won the Golden Globe for best foreign film, got two thumbs down Tuesday in this tough West Bank city where it was filmed.
Although the film - which snared the Golden Globe in Los Angeles on Monday - has never been screened in Nablus, residents here said the clips they saw on satellite television portrayed the bombers as godless and less than heroic.
During the Golden Globe ceremony, the film's place of origin was announced as "Palestine." It's also in the running for the foreign film Academy Award as the entry for "Palestine." Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said that it was incorrect to refer to a Palestine before a Palestinian state has been established.

 The Guide -- Barmack's 'Osama' Delivers Powerful, Moving Experience
It is the first all-Afghan film to emerge from the country since the terrorist network was dismantled in 2001.
The film psychologically wears down its audience by refusing to provide moments of solace from the horror that Osama experiences while masquerading.
The poignant cinematography — including bird’s-eye views of Kabul’s young boys learning to tie headscarves in the Taliban fashion and close-ups of the barrel of a machine gun poking at a woman’s exposed toenails underneath her burqa — is strong enough to carry the emotional weight of Osama alone.

Behind the Sun (Abril Despedaçado) is the latest film from director Walter Salles, whose Central Station received much recognition and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1999.
Although it is a darkly-played fable, the film is nonetheless awash with sun all the way through to the bitter end, when night and rain fall with the final curtain.
Salles' film is thoroughly engrossing entertainment, and Behind the Sun is one of the more beautiful collections of moving images ever put forth to tell a story.

But the dogmatic diatribe comes as the government releases alarming numbers for its beleaguered film industry and admits that its obsolete management and ideology are behind the recession.
Admitting the government has only just concluded that "film is both art and commodity," the article also blamed mediocre film production and a lack of quality scripts for the decline, saying playrights earned the same amount in 1993 as they did 30 years ago.

“Paradise Now” nominated for prestigious Golden Globe Award under the best foreign language film category, but in Israel it is expected to disappear from the big screen due to low turnout.
But the film hasn't got any "Jews" in it and no "Israel," because Jewish Israel is referred to in the film as "them," or "occupation," or "killing" or an "injustice" that has no historic background or human form.
And since all the participants in the film repeatedly emphasize that all peaceful Palestinian efforts at solving the problems of occupation and ethnic cleansing have failed, and that there is therefore no alternative but to conduct suicide "operations," the film's subtext suggests a solution to the problem: mass murder.

Their people continue to suffer; the supporters of these same terrorists use vast amounts of money for training them, young children are taught from a very early age to use guns, while they and their families continue to live in extreme poverty and lack the basic necessities to be able to function as normal people.
