If an international film, like 'Parasite,' wins best picture, it only seems fair that a different film, like 'Pain and Glory,' gets the international Oscar.
Documentary branch voters have to power through a lot of movies. Going by what they’ve nominated — and, more precisely, what they haven’t — this is a serious-minded bunch, more inclined to reward topical movies than documentaries that have caught on with the public.
Last year, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” and “Three Identical Strangers” were overlooked. “Apollo 11,” a thrilling, magnificent movie about the spaceflight that first put men on the moon, didn’t make the cut this year. But now that voting is open to the entire academy membership, the category becomes more of a popularity contest. The heart-stopping, widely seen climbing movie “Free Solo” prevailed last year, the latest in a line of publicly feted documentaries to win this Oscar.
This year’s class, though, lacks a popular favorite. “American Factory” and “The Edge of Democracy” aired on Netflix, and the other three haven’t cracked $1 million at the box office. As the Netflix titles are easier to access, I’d imagine that “American Factory,” a revealing look at the culture clashes at an American automotive factory acquired by a Chinese industrialist, is the favorite.
