I had to look up Dr. Dolittle because I wasn't sure it was nominated for BP.

They Shoot... 3 acting nods and Best Director. hmm......

Need update predictions , as neither Grizzly Man nor Why We Fight is among the final 15 films selected.

Really? that's sad.

I also drop Good Night from make-up and replace it with New World for now.

"After Innocence"
"The Boys of Baraka"
"Darwin's Nightmare"
"The Devil and Daniel Johnston"
"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"
"Favela Rising"
"Mad Hot Ballroom"
"March of the Penguins"
"Murderball"
"Occupation: Dreamland"
"On Native Soil: The Documentary of the 9/11 Commission Report"
"Rize"
"Street Fight"
"39 Pounds of Love"
"Unknown White Male"

Yeah, crazy documentary branch, isn't it?

For me, that's akin to shutting out a Walk The Line or Geisha.

Grizzly Man was one of the best films of year, not to mention the best documentary.

Told you Enron was going to be up there...

What are the fifteen (I have no idea where people find this info).

Penguins
Murderball
Enron
Mad Hot Ballroom

and, uh,

some other one?

Protocols of Zion?

"After Innocence"
"The Boys of Baraka"

"The Devil and Daniel Johnston"
"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"
"Favela Rising"
"Mad Hot Ballroom"
"March of the Penguins"

Eligible documentaries were screened by the Documentary Branch Screening Committee, made up of members of the branch who serve on a volunteer basis. The above films were chosen after a preliminary round of screenings.

The nominated films will be announced along with nominations in 24 other categories on Tuesday, January 31, at 5:30 a.m. PST.

The Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements for 2005 will be presented on Sunday, March 5, 2006, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network beginning at 5 PM PST.

Awe? So Aristocats didn't make it through either?

Without knowing and/or having seen the contents of the other docs, I'm calling Darwin's Nightmare as the fifth entry. I can just tell.

Does anyone have a clue why Grizzly Man wasn't selected?
