I believe on a yearly basis the documentaries have to be submitted by like November 1st. Meaning, yearly, documentaries for 2004 is any film documentary released and submitted between November 1st 2003 and November first 2004.
Works the same way in Foreign film. It's why A Very Long Engagement wasn't eligible.

It's funny to me that in Best Actress, the likely winner is considered by almost everybody to be the least deserving person there. At least as far as popular opinion is swinging.

While my first choice would be Kate Winslet, I would like to see Imelda Staunton win for Vera Drake. I've not seen the film, but it will definately be one I see as soon as possible.

Saw wasn't nominated?! DRAT.
I'm glad to see some nominations for Million Dollar Baby. Was Fahrenheit 9/11 not eligible for Best Documentary? Sorry if that question is answered.

No Fahrenheit 9/11 was not eligible. Something about it was released on DVD too soon after its release.

Anyone thinks that Eastwood might pull a win because of the "sentimental" fact and that being the only way the Academy can award him this year?

 Rule 12 in My Oscar Rules handbook:
oh, I'm kidding. REALLY!
I. DEFINITION
1. An eligible documentary film is defined as a theatrically released non-fiction motion picture dealing creatively with cultural, artistic, historical, social, scientific, economic or other subjects. It may be photographed in actual occurrence, or may employ partial re-enactment, stock footage, stills, animation, stop-motion or other techniques, as long as the emphasis is on fact and not on fiction.
2. A film that is primarily a promotional film, a purely technical instructional film or an essentially unfiltered record of a performance will not be considered eligible for consideration for the Documentary awards.
II. CATEGORIES
The Documentary Awards are divided into two categories:
1. Documentary Feature - films more than 40 minutes in running time, and
2. Documentary Short Subject - films 40 minutes or less (including all credits) in running time. .
III. ELIGIBILITY
1. To be eligible for award consideration for the 2004 awards year, a documentary film must qualify via theatrical exhibition (within two years of the film’s completion date) between September 1, 2003 and August 31, 2004. No television or internet transmission shall have occurred at any time anywhere in the world in any version prior to the qualifying run or furthermore contrary to section III.2.B(1) or III.2.B(2) of these rules.

Best Director and Best Actor are locked for wins. Nothing can stop Scorsese and nothing can stop Foxx.
As a producer on Million Dollar Baby, Eastwood himself gets an Oscar on Million Dollar Baby if it wins Best Picture.
Ironically, Michael Mann gets an Oscar as a producer on The Aviator if it wins.

Its DVD release date doesn't matter, but its TV airing does, and Michael Moore decided to give up on the best documentary race in order to try to get the movie on TV before the November elections.
Or somehting like that :wink:
