- Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer
- Enemies of the People
- Exit through the Gift Shop
- Gasland
- Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould
- Inside Job
- The Lottery
- Precious Life
- Quest for Honor
- Restrepo
- This Way of Life
- The Tillman Story
- Waiting for "Superman"
- Waste Land
- William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe



I'm thinking:

The Tillman Story
Restrepo
Inside Job
Waiting for Superman
Exit through the Gift Shop


Would be awesome if the latter won, though Waiting for Superman seems to be the favorite.

Yow! After being spoiled with years of multiple great docs, it looks like most of this year's nominees are scrapin' the bottom of the American guilt barrel.

Out of those listed, I'd pick Exit Through The Gift Shop which was disappointing but still reasonably good.


(None of the best docs even made the short list - - Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, Oceans, Catfish, and Babies.)

I say:

Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer
Inside Job
Restrepo
Waiting for "Superman"
I'm torn between Exit through the Gift Shop and Gasland/The Tillman Story/Waste Land for the fifth spot
