Fataculture[image] AMPAS have released yet another shortlist, this time for the category of Best Documentary feature, always a pretty unpredictable category in my books, but much like the Animated Feature shortlist released a while back, there is yet again a film that I think will have no problem taking home the gold regardless of its competition; Man on Wire.
