"An Open Secret" wasn\’t submitted, so there was no way it would have made the shortlist.

I don\’t recall that 31/2 Bullets ever had a theatrical opening here in NYC. I was under the impression it went straight to HBO telecast. Hopefully they\’ll give the award to Look of Silence considering the short shrift that Oppenheimer\’s previous film got from the Academy.

Cobain: Montage Of Heck is the best documentary of the year, but it is to good for the Academy, the same goes for The Wolfpack. Of the ones mentioned in the shortlist my favorites are Amy, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison Of Belief and Listen To Me Marlon all great films. Full disclosure, though, I have yet to see Cartel Land and Heart Of A Dog.

most glaring omission: "Seymour: An Introduction"

Amy…Amy…Amy. I would be in complete shock if she is not one of the five nominees.

Out of the docs I\’ve seen on this shortlist, they are all solid choices; but aside from \’Look of Silence\’ none of them are bettter than \’Montage of Heck\’ and \’Wolfpack\’, two of the best documentaries I\’ve ever seen.
