Is there anyone on the list who is also a member of the Academy's
Documentary division who can explain why said Division consistently
ignores good, popular documentaries even for nomination, let alone an
Oscar?  (Eg., THE THIN BLUE LINE, BROTHER'S KEEPER, ROGER AND ME, and
PARIS IS BURNING--now HOOP DREAMS too!)
