The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced their documentary shortlist yesterday. Here are the 15 films selected:
- At the Death House Door (review)
- The Betrayal (Nerakhoon)
- Blessed is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Seneesh
- Encounters at the End of the World
- Fuel
- The Garden
- Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts
- I.O.U.S.A.
- In a Dream
- Made in America
- Man on Wire (review)
- Pray the Devil Back to Hell
- Standard Operating Procedure
- They Killed Sister Dorothy
- Trouble the Water (review)
Though I’ve seen just three of the nominated films so far, I’m pretty confident saying I’d be bitterly disappointed if Man on Wire fails to win the Oscar. Like some other commentators, I’m surprised and a bit let down that Yung Chang’s Up the Yangtze (review) wasn’t shortlisted.
Documentarian AJ Schnack (Kurt Cobain: About a Son) is breaking these down over on his excellent blog, All These Wonderful Things.
