It's my second favourite film of the year as of now (after Slumdog Millionaire). If another doc wins instead of Man on Wire... well, kudos to Academy for another bullshit call. Man on Wire is one of the best docs I've ever seen, period. Nice to see Encounters at the End of the World getting in the list. I find it hard to believe Werner fucking Herzog was never nominated in his entire career. Not for a foreign film; not for the best director; not for the best documentary; not for the best picture... That's a joke, right? I have seen half of those movies, and Man on Wire is easily the best. It’s my second favourite film of the year as of now (after Slumdog Millionaire).

Not saying it's deserving of the Oscar or anything, but did something disqualify it from consideration or are there just that many good documentaries out there this year?
