OK, as someone who has NEVER in 20 years lost a cent betting on the Oscars (the only gambling I do, BTW) rest assured the Academy will NEVER nominate a documentary for Best Picture. Why? Because the documentary side of the film industry is outside of the mainstream of the industry and most Academy members do not work in them, nor do the people that work in them belong to the Academy. So, what movies will the Academy nominate? Those that they and their close colleagues worked on. This is also why foreign language films nominated for Best Picture are few and far between. Another reason: most Academy members are actors. Not many actors running around in documentaries.
