"Oscars 2022: Celebrities Make Powerful Statements on Gaza and Israel Conflict"
The Zone of Interest, a German-language Holocaust drama, won the United Kingdom its first-ever Academy Award for best international feature at the Oscars 2024. Director Jonathan Glazer linked the film's subject to the ongoing conflict in Gaza in his acceptance speech, drawing parallels between the past and present. The film, which focuses on the family of a top Nazi general at Auschwitz, was dedicated to a 90-year-old woman who inspired one of the characters. The win marks a record for the U.K. in the international feature category, and the film triumphed over strong competition from other nominated films.
