Oscars: Best Documentary Feature — Can the Branch Known for Snubbing Frontrunners Finally Embrace Popular Titles?
2025 Oscars Best Documentary Feature predictions include "Daughters," "Piece by Piece," "Will & Harper," "Super/Man" and "¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor!"
Thanks to this broadened voter base, films like Shiori Itô’s powerful “Black Box Diaries” and Mati Diop’s “Dahomey” — which is also Senegal’s official submission for International Feature — might have a better shot.
