THE ENVELOPE PLEASE: The fine folks at AMPAS have announced the 15 films that are semi-finalists for Best Documentary Feature this year. Interestingly, in a category that's normally riddled with movies that are just now coming out and which folks have never heard of, 5 of the semi-finalists (which are also likely to be your 5 finalists), got significant critical and commercial love:
  • Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room
  • Mad Hot Ballroom
  • March of the Penguins
  • Murderball
  • Rize

Surprisingly, Werner Herzog's much-acclaimed Grizzly Man didn't make the short list, and perhaps even more shockingly, at least judging from titles, there doesn't seem to be a Holocaust movie on the list.
