If you need proof the Academy Awards are some of the most worthless scrap statues in Hollywood, they've just demonstrated it by putting an apparently positive look at a self-hating lawyer on their list for considerations this year:

A controversial Israeli documentary film which covers the career of a radical left-wing Israeli attorney has made it to the short list of 2020 Academy Awards nominees.

“Advocate”, which first premiered at the Sundance Festival in January, follows the career of Lea Tsemel, a far-left anti-Zionist activist and attorney who has represented high-profile terrorists, including Salah Hamouri, a PFLP member who plotted to assassinate Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, a string of would-be Hamas suicide bombers, and Abdel Aziz Salha, who was pictured in the infamous photograph waving his blood-soaked hands after the lynching of two IDF soldiers in Ramallah in 2000.

The film covers Tsemel’s defense of Ahmad Manasra, one of two teenage terrorists who stabbed a 25-year-old Israeli man and a 13-year-old Israeli boy, nearly killing the latter.

"Israelis have no right to tell Palestinians how to struggle,” Tsemel says in the film in justifying her work as a defense advocate for terrorists.

If the documentarians don't approach this objectively, and excuse her evil, it just shows how corrupt the Oscars have become, and seriously, no sane person should feel disappointed if they don't get the award. And nobody need attend the Sundance festival either if this is the kind of evil they see fit to screen. Tsemel's one of the worst people around.
