"Young@Heart" Not Eligible For Documentary Oscar


The story can be read here. The article is actually about a particular distributor and some of the movies that will be affected in the Best Documentary Feature race, but the big blow to me is that "Young@Heart" will not be eligible for nomination in Best Documentary because it was aired on TV in a foreign country. I can't tell you how much this saddens me. Yeah, it's chances of actually getting nominated and winning were pretty slim. This is a category that has given out the most questionable awards out of any category, and the voters for that category are more into Iraq and global warming movies these days. Still though, this is one charming movie, and it's shame it won't be up for a prize it deserves to be nominated for. You can buy the movie here and/or check out the trailer below:



I'll be back later today as a ton of trailers for Oscar potentials have popped up today.
