It is a very strong field and includes the outstanding Chinese-Canadian doc Last Train Home, which was omitted from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science's short list and thus cannot get an Oscar nomination. Many, including Eugene Hernandez (formerly editor-in-chief of indieWIRE, and now director of digital strategy for the Film Society of Lincoln Center) felt that this was an enormous oversight.
All of the nominees except for Alex Gibney are first-time recipients of a DGA nomination. Gibney's previous nomination was for Taxi to the Dark Side in 2007.
The DGA also released their television nominations yesterday. The complete list of documentary and television nominations follows.
The Award winners will be announced at the 63rd Annual DGA Awards Dinner on Saturday, January 29, 2011, at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland in Los Angeles.
