First, the Academy has to look again at the definition of "Documentary" - Moore's film does not fit the definition.

Does it really matter? Does the film really warrant any consideration at all? Since your obvious answers are no to both, it will be nominated nevertheless.

Rule Twelve Special Rules for The Documentary Awards I. DEFINITION 1. An eligible documentary film is defined as a theatrically released non-fiction motion picture dealing creatively with cultural, artistic, historical, social, scientific, economic or other subjects. It may be photographed in actual occurrence, or may employ partial re-enactment, stock footage, stills, animation, stop-motion or other techniques, as long as the emphasis is on fact and not on fiction.

i would say it is a documentary, but you may argue it isnt a very good one because it is (say) innacurate.

Note that they say it is elligible for "Best Screenplay", wouldn't that disavow the "documentary" status? Has any other documentary been nominated for "Best Screenplay"?
