This is less surprising than the sun rising in the east. What would be surprising is finding out there's someone in the world that both supports the film and gives a shit what the Oscars think.
Do we know for certain that Walsh/ Daily Zionist submitted the doc for consideration? It has to screen for two weeks in New York and Los Angeles AND be submitted for review to be considered. The Academy only considers films that are properly submitted for consideration. Did they apply?

Yes. Variety even wrote a whole hit piece on Walsh for doing so. Search the forum.
It was released nationwide, including NYC & LA.
