Oh yes. That was the year the Academy gave the documentary Oscar to the head of is documentary division. I’ll have to watch Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision one day and see how much of a travesty that really was. Must remember to put that on my want list.

Thanks, Doc. You’re right. They were nominated for Best Editing, but lost to Forrest Gump! The documentary Oscar went to Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision. The Anne Frank film was made in 1995 but won an Oscar in 1996. That brings me to an annoying point. Are they the 1995 Oscars if they take place in 1995 but honour films made in 1994? Confusing!

Great review, but one quibble: Hoop Dreams wasn’t even nominated for an Oscar in 1995. The winner that year was the entirely forgettable Anne Frank Remembered.

Damn. I skipped this film last night because I had to get some work done. Sounds like I missed a great film.

Thanks, Bazfan! I’ve made the correction. That’s what happens when you’re blogging from work and trying to type quickly so the boss doesn’t catch you!
