The Oscar Documentary Feature Submissions of Film Year 2024 I’ve Seen, Ranked

This is my ongoing personal record, and ranking, of the 2024 documentary feature submissions to the Oscars I've seen so far.

The Academy released the official eligibility list on November 21. Link to the official list here.

The shortlist of fifteen titles was released on 17 December 2024. Link to that list here.

As of the last update I have seen 14/15 of the shortlisted titles. I have yet to see: Eno.
