The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has narrowed the list of documentaries competing for 5 nominations in the Best Documentary category to the following 15:
"At the Death House Door", directed by Peter Gilbert and Steve James
"The Betrayal" (Nerakhoon), directed by Ellen Kuras
"Blessed Is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh", directed by Roberta Grossman
"Encounters at the End of the World", directed by Werner Herzog
"Fuel", directed by Josh Tickell
"The Garden", directed by Scott Hamilton Kennedy
"Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts", directed by Scott Hicks
"I.O.U.S.A.", directed by Patrick Creadon
"In a Dream", directed by Jeremiah Zagar
"Made in America", directed by Stacy Peralta
"Man on Wire", directed by James Marsh
"Pray the Devil Back to Hell", directed by Gini Reticker
"Standard Operating Procedure", directed by Errol Morris
"They Killed Sister Dorothy", directed by Daniel Junge
"Trouble the Water", directed by Carl Deal and Tia Lessin
None of the 4 highest grossing docs of the year (Religulous, Expelled, Shine a Light, Young@Heart) made the list. Two I like a lot didn't make it either (Up the Yangtze, Stranded). My favorite didn't even get released (Calle Santa Fe). I'd be very happy if the one listed at the top and the one listed at the bottom of this alphabetical list end up among the five nominees.
