AMPAS doesn’t know who’s going to get applause or how much. That said, you’re right that the Doc categories are always controversial and they should have given them Art Direction or something. Good idea. So so execution. Remember the award the troops actually gave out was to a same sex marriage special pleading short film.

Once they changed the rules to allow movies like “An Inconvenient Truth” to be considered “documentary,” it’s been downhill all the way.

Hollywood knows exactly what they are doing, and the impressions and emotions they want to produce, since that is their livelihood after all.

They “honored” the troops, and then gave them a big “but monkey”, so to speak.
