Recent years' Oscar Best Documentary races have been blighted by questionable choices during the shortlist-making process, or at least choices that did away with many of the most popular contenders. Though films such as Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me and Point and Shoot have failed to advance from the crowded eligible films list, most of the frontrunners are present on the Academy's 15-strong shortlist. Here are all of the films which will compete for a final five slots, to be announced on the 15th of January.
- Art and Craft (Purple Parrot Films)
- The Case Against 8 (Day in Court)
