Voters in the Academy’s Documentary Branch will have 167 feature films and 114 shorts to consider for this year’s Oscars, according to emails sent to the branch over the past four months.
That number is 23 more than last year’s total of 144 eligible documentaries, but well short of the record total of 238 set in 2020, when the eligibility rules were loosened because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The list below is of all the films that were made available to the branch in the Academy Screening Room and assigned as required viewing to members of the branch. It is not the Academy’s official list of eligible films in the Best Documentary Feature category, which will be released before shortlist voting begins in mid December.
