Best documentary feature

I was torn between Black Box Diaries and No Other Land. I ended up voting for No Other Land because it moved me so much. I wasn’t really aware of what was going on over there [in the West Bank], and it’s just so objectively awful.

VOTE: No Other Land

It reached somebody, that's something.

Variety wrote:Surprisingly, two separate voters who didn’t vote for Fiennes said they did not vote for him because “he won before.” They both believed he won an Oscar for “Schindler’s List” (1993), which he didn’t, as he lost to Tommy Lee Jones for “The Fugitive.”

“Oh shit!” one chuckled after being corrected. Coincidentally, they voted for Brody, who actually won an Oscar for “The Pianist” (2002). As you can tell, sometimes these things tend not to make much sense.
