The Oscar prospects for Fire of Love, The Territory, and All That Breathes got a significant boost today with the announcement of the nominations for the 16th Annual Cinema Eye Honors.
Sara Dosa’s Fire of Love and Alex Pritz’s The Territory tied with a leading seven nominations apiece, while All That Breathes, from director Shaunak Sen, was recognized in half a dozen categories. Fellow Oscar contenders All the Beauty and the Bloodshed — the Venice Golden Lion winner directed by Laura Poitras — and Payal Kapadia’s A Night of Knowing Nothing earned four nominations apiece.
In the marquee category of Outstanding Nonfiction Feature, six films will go head to head at the Cinema Eye Honors: All That Breathes; All the Beauty and the Bloodshed; Fire of Love; Navalny — Daniel Roher’s documentary on Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny; A Night of Knowing Nothing, and The Territory [see the full list of nominees below].
Pritz, making his feature documentary debut with The Territory, earned five individual nominations – more than anyone else – including Outstanding Cinematography and Outstanding Debut, although he missed out on an Outstanding Direction nomination. In that latter category, five women are nominated: Poitras (All the Beauty and the Bloodshed); Rebeca Huntt for Beba; Margaret Brown for Descendant; Dosa (Fire of Love), and Kapadia (A Night of Knowing Nothing). The only male director nominated was Sen for All That Breathes.
The nominations highlight a remarkably strong year for HBO. The premium cable platform led all distributors and broadcasters with 30 nominations overall, followed by 17 nominations for National Geographic Documentary Films, 17 for NEON/Super LTD, eight for Netflix and seven apiece for
