LIVE POLL: Oscars 2026 — Best Documentary Feature Film

@Tsarstepan​ i have seen almost all the fifteen of the Oscar shortlisted docs, but have not seen 'Cutting Through Rocks' yet.

@Peter_pbn​, I agree. I corrected it in the poll thread, and omitted it from the poll list altogether, for now. 

(Initial note, prior to edit)

* Oscar-eligible documentary feature films are non-fiction feature-length (> 40 minutes) motion pictures that creatively present facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter, but excludes those films that are instructional, promotional, or unfiltered records of a performance.

I was pressed for time earlier and was using the generic definition as a placeholder, until I could transcribe part of the official AMAPS definition from the Oscars rules PDF into that section. www.oscars.org/sites/oscars/files/2025-04/98th_aa_doc_feature.pdf?VersionId=_8sOuyOgzEatssjNE528Ta_izDVut6Bw/

"It may photographed in actual occurance, or may employ parital reenactment, stock footage, stills, animation, stop-motion or other techniques, as long as the emphasis is on fact and on fiction."

The purpose is to show how the scope of this award is different from other awards. Also, I might limit that part to the poll thread introduction only, rather than include it there, as well as, adding it to the poll list and poll too.

@Jessica​ Thanks, I corrected the issue by removing the stray characters.

@dan_dassow​ Thanks
