  1. Aside from perhaps the omissions of Michael Moore and James Tobeck, it seems like a good representation of the documentary directors this year...

  2. I don't understand the backlash against Moore's latest film. I find Capitalism to be one of his better films, certainly his most personal since Roger and Me. Maybe the various groups are just sick of him...
