Best Documentary
This is the first year I’ve ever seen all the documentary nominations- normally I only get to about one or two. I don’t know that it was the best year to do this, as 4 out of the 5 dealt with war in some regard (all but Sicko) and only one of them was mildly uplifting (War/Dance) with the other four being wildly depressing. I thought I’d lump them all together, marked with the numbers in which I saw it out of the 39 nominations, rather than giving them each individual reviews.Farrah Fawcett to make $2 million for documentary about her cancer fight
