Academy Declares Matt Damon, Ben Affleck Documentary ‘Kiss The Future’ Eligible For Oscars, Reversing Earlier Denial
The Academy has ruled the Matt Damon, Ben Affleck-produced doc 'Kiss the Future' eligible for Oscar consideration, reversing its earlier decision.
The Academy today reversed its earlier decision declaring the film ineligible on the basis of not meeting qualification criteria. His documentary centers on the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s and how beleaguered residents of the city drew inspiration from the music of U2 as they attempted to survive years of war, sniper attacks and deprivation. Damon and Affleck had written to the Academy pointing out that the film received a wide release, playing on more than 100 screens in AMC theaters.
