My predications of the runners for the 84th Academy Awards Part 4: Best Documentary Feature final condenders

by AlexHartsell | created - 05 May 2011 | updated - 20 Nov 2011 | Public

We now are about to head off on to the final competitors/ front runners of who will be nominated and in the race of the 84th Academy Awards. We will now do Best Documentary Feature contenders and front runner films of being nominated for it. Remember Best Foreign Language Film will be made when they have announce who will be in the race for that catagorie. I have also another thing to announce is that I can't do the best short categories due to they are too hard to find and put in a list and also I think Best Documentary Short, Best Live Action Short and Best Animated short need to be remove from the Oscars or in a better word, retire for good. Due to they can also be a bored and waste time at the Oscars. Finally this is the best I can do and these are the only docs that I can find pretty good. Besides these are the Documentary features I think will be good in 2011. Please leave comments and suggestions of what Documentary films of 2011 to add or delete on this list.
