Peter T Chattaway Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 Oscars’ Animated, Documentary and International Feature Submissions Revealed In the documentary feature realm, a record 238 docs are among the contenders, crushing the record of 170 submissions from 2017. Among the pics is Amazon Studios’ “Time,” which won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, National Board of Review and New York Film Critics Circle awards for best documentary. It’s the first film since Sarah Polley’s “Stories We Tell” (2012) to win the big three critics’ prizes. However, Polley’s movie failed to get an Academy Awards nomination. . . . See the complete list of documentary feature submission on the Academy website. Variety, January 28 Quote "Sympathy must precede belligerence.

Peter T Chattaway Posted February 16 Author Report Share Posted February 16 (edited) The Writers Guild of America nominees in this category (with the ones I have seen in bold): All In: The Fight for Democracy, Written by Jack Youngelson; Amazon Studios The Dissident, Written by Mark Monroe and Bryan Fogel; Briarcliff Entertainment Herb Alpert Is…, Written by John Scheinfeld; Abramorama Red Penguins, Written by Gabe Polsky; Universal Pictures Totally Under Control, Written by Alex Gibney; Neon All In: The Fight for Democracy is the only WGA nominee that made the Oscar shortlist, and there is *no* overlap between the WGA nominees and the PGA nominees. I got e-mails with screening links for two of the WGA nominees that I have *not* seen yet. I wonder if those links still work... The winner will be announced March 21.
