The Producers Guild of America has announced the seven films that will compete for their award for Best Documentary. The list has a few notable omissions, the leading of which are Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie and Menus-Plaisirs- Les Troisgros, but also glaringly absent are The Eternal Memory and Kokomo City among several other previously recognized features. Since the two big contenders so far in Precursor Season aren’t here, there may not be as much interest in the results.
