The Oscar Documentary Short List Has Arrived
The race for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature is narrowed down to 15 films.
And it’s a good-looking, diverse and hip slate — at least until the final five nominees are announced, and inevitably three to four of them are the least watched, least known from this selection, making the race opaque to almost everyone. Interesting that two controversial pro-charter school docs, the better known “Waiting for ‘Superman’” and the smaller “The Lottery” both made the cut, while the acclaimed “Last Train Home” did not. “The Oath,” thought a possible frontrunner by some, also failed to make the snip. But nice to see the excellent “Enemies of the People” on there.
