It’s been clear for a bit now that Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is going to do quite well this awards season. The love the Critics Choice documentary committee has for the film is certain. It’s also the kind of documentary that the Academy has ignored even for a nomination in the past, so we’ll see how things turn out.
