The PGA Awards announced its nominees for Outstanding Producer of Documentary Motion Pictures today, a list noted for a number of snubs and surprises.
Seven films were recognized with nominations, including All That Breathes, Shaunak Sen’s documentary about two brothers to Delhi, India who have dedicated their lives to rehabilitating birds of prey that have fallen victim to the city’s polluted skies. It won the Best Feature honors at the IDA Documentary Awards over the weekend, so the PGA Awards nomination comes as no surprise.
However, omitted from the PGA list was All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, the strong Oscar contender from director Laura Poitras which on Friday was named Best Non-Fiction Film by the New York Film Critics Circle. Also missing out on a PGA Award nomination were Moonage Daydream, Brett Morgen’s documentary on David Bowie that is far and away the top-grossing documentary of the year in theatrical release, and Good Night Oppy, Ryan White’s documentary on NASA’s Mars rovers that hails from Amblin Entertainment.
In a surprise, Nothing Compares, Kathryn Ferguson’s documentary about Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor, earned a PGA nomination today. The film has been well reviewed and performed particularly well in the U.K. and Ireland, but hasn’t been a major player in many pre-Oscar documentary awards contests. It did earn two Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards nominations previously—for Best Music Documentary and Best Archival Documentary, and a cinematography nomination for the upcoming Cinema Eye Honors.
Matthew Heineman, a two-time DGA Award winner, saw his latest film, Retrograde, honored with a PGA nomination. His documentary takes a visceral look at the last months of the U.S. war in Afghanistan and

Effective tonight, DC bosses Peter Safran and James Gunn have officially made known their plans for their first movie under their regime: It’s Superman, a script that the latter is currently writing about the Man of Steel’s early days. It’s not an origins story. However, a new actor will be sought to play Superman.
Broadway’s oft-stated efforts to reach beyond traditional audiences and its own mid-town environs seems evident in the choice of location for the 2023 Tony Awards: Rather than the usual theater-district and Times Square haunts like Radio City Music Hall or one of the major Broadway venues, the Tonys will be broadcast live on CBS from the United Palace in upper Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood.
The Film Independent Spirit Awards are unveiling their 2023 nominees for television Tuesday morning. The reveal marks a previously announced expansion of the TV categories, as well as a move to gender-neutral acting races this year in both television and film, the latter of which were revealed last month during the Spirits’ film nominations.

For years HBO Documentary Films, under the stewardship of Sheila Nevins, dominated the Oscars, racking up nominations and wins left and right. But since her departure in 2018 it has faced an Oscar dry spell, at least in the documentary feature category. All that could change this year, in a major way.
Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes won the top prize at the 38th IDA Documentary Awards in Hollywood tonight, cementing its status as an Oscar frontrunner.
The royal family may not be pleased with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s attacks, but an award show is!
In the semi-documentary film Eami, a word that tellingly means both “forest” and “world” to the indigenous Ayoreo Totobiegosode people of Paraguay, the native’s increasingly shrinking landscape, due to deforestation, serves as a grounded but dreamlike backdrop for a story that blends elements of fiction and nonfiction storytelling.
Eami means “forest” in Ayoreo. It also means “‘”world.” When director Paz Encina traveled to the land of the indigenous Ayoreo-Totobiegosode people, she found that they do not make a distinction between these things: The trees, the animals and the plants that have surrounded them for centuries are all they know and now they live in an area – the Chaco plain – that is experiencing the fastest deforestation on the planet.
