The Producers Guild of America announced the documentary nominations for the 2017 PGA Awards this morning, and there was a bit of a surprise. The nominated documentaries are as follows:
“Dancer”
“The Eagle Huntress”
“Life, Animated”
“O.J.: Made in America”
“Tower”
Not making the cut are “Weiner” (politically relevant and Sundance Jury Prize winner), Ava DuVernay‘s timely “13th,” “Cameraperson,” “I Am Not Your Negro” and “Miss Sharon Jones!” It’s unclear if “Fire at Sea” qualified.
