"Waltz with Bashir" became the first animated film to have received a nomination for an Academy Award and the second for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film (France's "Persepolis" was the first a year prior). Also the first R-rated animated film to be considered for those honors. It also became the first Israeli winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film since "The Policeman" (1971), and the first documentary film to win the award.
