Steven Spielberg's movie 'Munich' has been nominated for five Academy Awards (Oscars), including one for best picture. “Munich” tells the story of Israel’s retribution for the massacre of Israeli athletes in the 1972 Olympics. The film was also nominated in the editing, adapted screenplay and music categories, and Spielberg was nominated as best director. Two films of interest to the Jewish community were nominated for best foreign-language film: “Paradise Now,” which focuses on two Palestinian suicide bombers, and “Sophie Scholl: The Final Days,” which depicts the only woman at the core of the underground German wartime resistance group known as the White Rose.
