I'm not surprised. I'm no big time Hollywood guy but have 45 years of experience.
Such ceremonies will award trophies based on subject matter without regard to quality. Not to sound like I'm disparaging the doc but anything about this subject, now, plus gays and racial and political issues will win you votes because these types always feel the need to side with causes to make them feel better about themselves.
No. Not everyone. And I should mention I have relatives who are actors but don't feel that way. Some may remember, a few years ago, the director who lost and said, "Next time I'll make a film about a gay, Latino who's politically suppressed".
I got stories to tell but I won't.
- michaelbuddy 12y agoI was thinking the exact same thing. It's a good doc by any measure but if it were about another topic, it wouldn't have won on cinematic merit. BUT at the same time, it tells the story well being mostly told through a hotel room and narration. So with that said both the content and how it was made is still noteworthy but not outstanding. So it's all about all of it coming together too. Documentaries are a lot of luck and skill and pulling together the story that people can appreciate.
