I wondered why Grizzly Man wasn't getting that Best Documentary nom, thanks for that info. Herzog deserves some sort of Oscar, even if it's just a career award. He's the most daring director alive.
It didn't make the cut for the list of Documentaries. It's a shame. I agree with you about Herzog. At least Robert Altman is getting a Career award.
I love Herzog too but my fave is probably Errol Morris. http://imdb.com/name/nm0001554/
