Just found out today that of the 15 films selected to be nominees for the best documentary feature, Werner Herzog's Grizzley Man isn't one of them. After years of the Academy rebuilding their shattered reputation regarding documentaries, this is pushing them back to the days of snubbing Hoop Dreams. Murderball is among those selected, as is Mad Hot Ballroom, and the obvious winner March of the Penguins (because who doesn't love cute animals).

Just wanted to vent, and I couldn't comment on this in the Grizzley Man thread for whatever reason, so I'm putting it here. In due time I can voice other problems with the Academy making this about a 40 page thread.
