Countdown to the Oscars – our picks for Documentary: Feature & Short Subject

The 84th showing of the Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday the 26th of February and we at Geek for E have decided to join in on the fun and give you our predictions of who will win.

Today we are going to do another two for one where we make our picks on who will win for Documentary Feature and Documentary Short Subject.
And with that…the nominations go to…
DOCUMENTARY FEATURE …the nominations go to:
“Hell and Back Again”
“If a Tree Falls”
“Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory”
“Pina”
“Undefeated”

Denise: Remember what I said about the short film categories?  A’yup.  Though this will probably be an easy one to guess; Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, about the West Memphis 3, the men that got a bum rap and  that are now darlings of many Hollywood types, will most likely win here.

Rock: Pish-Posh Denise, this is If A Tree Falls.  How do I know that?  The ELF movement is huge now and needs the shot in the arm that this nomination has done.  For that reason, I say the Academy will wise up and grant a golden God to them.

Alex: I’m shooting a fish in the barrel for this one as I have not seen any of these. So as I do the ole “pick a tiger by the toe” trick I go with Undefeated just in name alone.
Score card…
Denise – Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory
Rock – If A Tree Falls
Alex – Undefeated
DOCUMENTARY SHORT SUBJECT …the nominations go to:
“The Barber of Birmingham”
“God is the Bigger Elvis”
“Incident in New Baghdad”
“Saving Face”
“The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom”

Denise: Seriously, I need to get more docs under my belt.  I’ll take a wild swing into the unknown and go with The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom.  It’s a subject close to my heart.

Rock: Shot in the dark for me…but I’ll go with Saving Face.

Tatiana: No clue. Let’s say Incident in New Baghdad.

Alex: as I stated above, I’ve not seen nor heard of any of these. So the ole finger is a picking and it picks God is the Bigger Elvis. Thank you….thank you very much.
Score card…
Denise – The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom
Rock – Saving Face
Tatiana – Incident in New Baghdad
Alex – God is the Bigger Elvis
