This year's Oscar nominations will be announced later on Tuesday.
And for the first time, Syria had an entry in the Best Foreign Language Film category, a documentary called, Little Gandhi.
The documentary is centred on the uprising that began in 2011 and tells the story of Ghiyath Matar, a young Syrian activist.
Ghiyath wanted to free Syria from Bashar al-Assad, but renounced violence and confronted heavily armed police and troops with symbols of brotherhood.
