Documentary Feature: An International Affair
The nominees are:
Bobi Wine: The People’s President
The Eternal Memory
Four Daughters
To Kill a Tiger
20 Days in Mariupol
The Documentary Feature category often has strong international representation — 42% of the nominees from the last 10 Oscars have been foreign language docs. But this year is unique in that the entire cohort are all international. It’s even more surprising that some of these films made it when domestic favorites like American Symphony and Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie didn’t make the cut. (American Symphony won at the PGAs and Still was the pick of the National Board of Review.)
To Kill a Tiger is one of the few nominated films this year I haven’t seen, so I can’t offer any commentary on it, other than it was a hit at TIFF in 2022. The remaining nominees all feature political oppression as a significant theme, though they tackle it in vastly different ways.
Uganda’s Bobi Wine: The People’s President recounts the inspiring story of the musician turned opposition politician as he stands up against his nation’s de facto dictator. Chile’s The Eternal Memory is a moving story about the impact of Alzheimer’s disease on a couple, one of whom is determined to preserve his legacy of holding the Pinochet regime to account.
The overwhelming favorite to win is Ukraine’s 20 Days in Mariupol, one of the year’s most powerful films. While not particularly groundbreaking as a documentary, the work is harrowing beyond measure. Viewers can feel some distance when observing fictional accounts of the atrocities of war, but it’s hard to escape the evil when you know it is reality. That’s what 20 Days does so well. It’s not an easy watch, but it’s an important one.
Contrastingly, Tunisia’s Four Daughters takes a unique approach to storytelling and has the potential to be a monument in the documentary film canon. The film was the darling of Cannes where it won three awards and was nominated for the Palme d’Or. But its account of two teenage girls radicalized by ISIS may not be as timely for American viewers as the ongoing atrocities in Ukraine.
After last year’s win for Navalny, this will be the second straight year the winning documentary has tackled Putin’s regime.
Who will win: 20 Days in Mariupol
But look out for: Four Daughters
Who I’d vote for: 20 Days in Mariupol
If I could add one more: Still: A Michael J .Fox Movie

Been listening to books about the Salem witch trials and it’s so weird to me that there’s this prevailing narrative where people think of Salem as “oh they were deluded primitive folk who believed in witchcraft lol” when there are contemporary documents where prominent people said the accusers and the court (which hadn’t followed standard legal procedures even for that time) were committing crimes so grievous it would forever be a stain on New England
#i really recommend the first season of the documentary podcast ‘unobscured’#it goes into great detail the interpersonal relationships and perfect storm politically economically socially and spiritually#that led to the trials#and features extensive interviews with six of the leading historians on the trials and colonial new england

What’s the one thing I’d want people to remember about Joe Toye? He was a loyal, tough, patriotic, Christian man. He was old-school and grew up the hard way. He was flawed as a father and flawed as a husband, yes, but he did the best he could considering the cards he was dealt. He lost much in his life but never gave up. I have a lot of respect for him, and I think that anybody who knew him does, too.
~ Steve Toye

Okay so there's all the headcanons and AUs about Chrissy lives and helps the party clear Eddie's name but what if they failed. She's alive but he gets arrested anyway.
There's zero proof that he did anything (because he didn't) but in a small town in the middle of nowhere, confirmation bias has gotten the best of them. Eddie's lawyers are doing their best but there's only so much they can do against Jason's family and Fred's family and Patrick's family and all of their lawyers, not to mention the fact that the entire town has turned against him except for Hellfire, the Party, his uncle, and Chrissy.
The trial's a shit show, the judge is an asshole, the prosecution are assholes, the population of Hawkins are fucking assholes. And he loses. Of course he does, because there was never any other way this could have gone. Not when the real suspect is an interdimensional mind demon thing. Not when the entire town has been itching for an excuse to see him locked up. It's like blinders on a racehorse; they had him in their sights, finally, and he has no way out.
Chrissy had spent enough time in Hawkins' "high society" to know that these people fear and abhor that which they do not understand. They couldn't understand him, she could see that now. She watched them tear through his room, his car, his family, his history, his entire life, only to come up empty but still point at him and say "he did it" anyway.
It makes her furious. She wants to tear the limbs off of everyone in that courtroom, but she can't. So she does the next best thing.
She goes to law school.
She'd never really had the best grades, but now she has something to work for. It takes some time, but she never stops advocating, never stops fighting. Nancy's a big help, too. She's a journalist, she's got contacts in the industry that are helping to get the word out.
She writes him letters the whole time, too. By the time she graduates, damn near at the top of her class, she's realized that while she started this thing because of that deep-rooted sense of injustice that came out of watching the boy who saved her life get torn to shreds on the stand, it's turned into something else. Now she's fighting for him because she loves him (and maybe she had all along).
Eventually they get enough support from enough people, from enough big names (fucking Metallica, for one -- she couldn't tell them exactly how Eddie used their music to save her life, only that he did) that he's granted a new trial. This time, he doesn't get a shitty state-appointed attorney. He gets Chrissy fucking Cunningham, and she's not going down without a fight. (She feels it's the least she can do. She loves him, she owes him, she still feels like it's her fault, in a way.)
It's a long and gruelling process, appeals and analysis and arguments. She calls a probably record-setting number of character witnesses, brings the Party in to provide an alibi. (They all remember that week down to the last detail, even after all these years. Scars might fade but those memories don't.)
She's determined to beat this thing. She can tell that it's almost beaten Eddie, she knows that if they lose again he's going to give up, and she's not going to let that happen.
Finally they make it to trial and it's nowhere near as cinematic or dramatic as she had been imagining it for the last few years. It's the same agonizing slowness as the first time around, only this time there's hope. A glimmer of hope, a flash of hope, a blinding fucking beam of hope.
The place is packed this time, too, but it's mostly people there in support. Eddie nearly falls out of his chair when he sees James Hetfield sitting there. For him.
Chrissy finally gets to tear apart everyone that had been in that courtroom, only she gets to do it the way she's always done it best: with her words. She's got the odds stacked against Hawkins. They had no investigation, no evidence, just a hunch. They couldn't figure it out, couldn't explain it, so they called it a cult killing and found somebody weird!
The jury is appalled, thankfully. How could anyone possibly get convicted on such little evidence? The verdict is a unanimous not guilty, and then...it's all over.
Well, it's not over.
Eddie's released, he's reunited with his Hellfire, the Party, his uncle. Chrissy.
He loves her, too. Always has. How could he not, after all she'd done for him? He tells her he wants to marry her as soon as she'll let him and she says that he could've asked any time in the last however many years and she would have said yes in a heartbeat.
But first, she leads him away from the chaos for a moment of quiet. He thanks her and she shakes her head. She'd done it all for him the same way he'd stood on top of his trailer with his guitar.
And she tells him that. She'd been telling him for years, even if he couldn't hear it. She'd said it when she graduated high school, graduated college, passed her LSATS. She'd said it when she passed the bar and walked at her law school graduation and right before she walked into the courtroom. She says it again now, just so he knows she means it, because he'd meant it and he means everything to her.
Eddie, this is for you.
#yknow or something#i've been reading too much about the west memphis three this year can you tell?#fun fact! the hbo documentary about the west memphis three was the first feature film given permission to use metallica's music#also yes i am aware that there are glaring inaccuracies regarding the legal system here but suspend your disbelief.#okay im normal now (<- lie)#hellcheer#hellcheer headcanon#hellcheer headcanons#hellcheer blurb#(is this a blurb? idk)#eddissy#eddissy headcanon#eddissy headcanons#eddie x chrissy#chrissy x eddie#eddie munson#eddie munson headcanon#eddie munson headcanons#chrissy cunningham#chrissy cunningham headcanon#chrissy cunningham headcanons#stranger things#stranger things headcanon#stranger things headcanons#my writing#just r's thoughts

In The News: First look at Walking With Dinosaurs II (2025)
Earlier this month, BBC released the first images of the upcoming return of the hit series, Walking with Dinosaurs, which was first announced back in June of 2024. While it's easy to compare upcoming dinosaur projects to other successful paleomedia, large productions like Prehistoric Planet (2022) and Walking with Dinosaurs (1999) set the bar high in terms of what people expect from a modern dinosaur documentary. Walking with Dinosaurs II is it's own project, over 20 years after the first series, and we still have much to see.
So far the models, in my opinion, are looking really nice. They're the best Albertosaurus I've seen on screen (no shrinkwrapping or reused Tyrannosaurus models here). The lips look a bit odd from some angles (though they properly cover the teeth) but overall the skull is very accurate. This is perhaps due to artist Henry Sharpe being involved in production. The Pachyrhinosaurus looks great as well (and it's unique enough from the design of the P. canadensis seen in Prehistoric Planet), though it's hard to determine the exact species.
Walking With Dinosaurs is set to be six episodes long, each with a length of 60 minutes.
"Arriving in 2025, each episode of Walking With Dinosaurs will tell the dramatic story of an individual dinosaur whose remains are currently being unearthed by the world’s leading dinosaur hunters. Thanks to cutting-edge science, experts can reveal how the creatures lived, hunted, fought, and died more accurately than ever before." - The Hollywood Reporter
So far we've only seen these two species, though other dinosaurs have been mentioned to be featured in the series:
"Other stories being told include that of the herbivore Lusotitan, which lived in Portugal, and would have been seeking a mate; the Spinosaurus, the largest carnivorous dinosaur so far discovered, found in Morocco; and a Triceratops in North America, which the programme will show trying to battle a Tyrannosaurus." - Hannah Roberts, PA Entertainment Reporter, Yahoo! News
Surviving Earth, another anticipated paleo-documentary (produced by Impossible Pictures), has since been pushed back to 2026 - though hopefully this gives more time for the final project to be perfected before public release. Stay tuned for more reviews as we learn more about new media!

Rhod Gilbert: A Pain in the Neck for SU2C (2023)
#rhod gilbert#rhodri#gilles gifs#gosh.... i loved these scenes#getting to a point in this documentary where things (narratively) are starting to look better for him felt so good#like you know going into it that he will survive but oh my god. it's a heavy watch.#and then there's him feeling better /w his dogs (and still being anxious about that final cancer check-up) and it's just :')#im not giffing more from this because it's a heavy watch and i do not want to put a lot of it Out In The Wild#because it's a really... personal experience that i think serves best within full context#but i wanted to share this cute moment <3#i also picked some scenes that feature the least recognizable footage of his garden (also just in case lmao)

i like to put nature documentaries on mute on my tv while i'm doing work or whatever random things around the house (muted bc i will get Distracted and not do tasks and just watch them otherwise, or bc i have an audiobook running) but i've rotated through the ones I have easy access to a bunch of times... anyone has recs for others i'd love them. i wish there were more that had only music/sound design/animal noises with no narration but i know those are really rare
right now i have access to hulu, prime, paramount+, maaaaybe max and disney? idr if the friend who had that cancelled it or not lol. but i get random cycling access to lots so any streaming service is fine and i'll just keep a list for whenever I have access so can change up my routine.
things i have already watched a Lot of times
Planet Earth (1 and 2)
Blue Planet
America's National Parks
Earth Moods
Cretaceous Past
also various livecams but honestly it's hit or miss if anythings happening and then i get FOMO if the animals are on screen and i can't pay attention so it's easier to have just recorded things i can replay at will forever
#there was one i cannot for the life of me remember the name of and i forget what platform i watched it on#but one episode just featured walruses dying over and over again and it was miserable to watch so if u kno what that one was. not that#im fine with predation deaths but man that one was bleak. they were just falling off cliffs they kept trying to inexplicably climb#ramblings#should i have a tag for when i ask for recs probably. i always lose them in the depths of my other ramblings#hmmm#polling the masses#nature documentaries
