Oscar 2016 Doc Short List Has "Amy", "The Hunting Ground"

Oscar 2016 Doc Short List Has "Amy", "The Hunting Ground" - Video

Oscar 2016 Doc Short List Has "Amy", "The Hunting Ground" The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences has released the short list of 15 documentaries competing to be Best Documentary at the 2016 Academy Awards. The list will be paired down to five in January. I must say I strongly object to "The Hunting Ground" being on this list. It's a false smear job on Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston. "Amy", the powerful documentary about the late Amy Winehouse, is the front runner. Other awesome films are "3 1/2 Minutes, 10 Bullets" and "Cartel Land" as well as "Winter On Fire" (which I mistakenly referred to as "Writer On Fire" but note the error). Here is the list: “Amy,” On the Corner Films and Universal Music “Best of Enemies,” Sandbar “Cartel Land,” Our Time Projects and The Documentary Group “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief,” Jigsaw Productions “He Named Me Malala,” Parkes-MacDonald and Little Room “Heart of a Dog,” Canal Street Communications “The Hunting Ground,” Chain Camera Pictures “Listen to Me Marlon,” Passion Pictures “The Look of Silence,” Final Cut for Real “Meru,” Little Monster Films “3 1/2 Minutes, 10 Bullets,” The Filmmaker Fund, Motto Pictures, Lakehouse Films, Actual Films, JustFilms, MacArthur Foundation and Bertha BRITDOC “We Come as Friends,” Adelante Films “What Happened, Miss Simone?,” RadicalMedia and Moxie Firecracker “Where to Invade Next,” Dog Eat Dog Productions “Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom,” Pray for Ukraine Productions

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
