Amy, which tells the story of late songstress Amy Winehouse in her own words through never-before-seen archival footage and unreleased tracks and is nominated for best doc this year, earned nominations for the Queer Palm and Golden Eye awards at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival for director Asif Kapadia.

'Music of the Heart' cast: Meryl Streep, Gloria Estefan, Aidan Quinn and Angela Bassett. 'Music of the Heart': Unusually bloodless Wes Craven movie works as Meryl Streep showcase Wes Craven, the director of the Scream franchise and of the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, is hardly the kind of filmmaker from whom one would expect a syrupy motion picture about a determined violin teacher who wins the hearts and minds of her inner-city school students. Yet Craven is the man responsible for Music of the Heart, a film utterly devoid of slashed faces, lethal stabbings, and deadly fingernails. Instead, this distaff version of Mr. Holland's Opus – with touches of To Sir with Love – offers loads of sentiment, some classical music (violinists Isaac Stern, Itzhak Perlman, and Mark O'Connor appear as themselves), plenty of bad pop tunes, and a superb performance by Meryl Streep as a...

Keep on Keepin’ On, director Alan Hicks’ debut film, follows four years of the friendship and mentorship between jazz legend and trumpeter Clark Terry, who played with Count Basie and Duke Ellington and taught a young Quincy Jones how to play, and Justin Kauflin, a talented 23-year-old blind pianist. The two musicians support each other as Terry begins to lose his eyesight due to health issues and as Kauflin deals with stage fright as a semi-finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. The film is one of 15 films on the Oscar documentary shortlist, five of which will be nominated on Jan. 15.
The Academy is particularly fond of music-related documentaries, nominating 17 since 1942, with eight winning. Keep on Keepin’ On could join the following Oscar-nominated films:
Festival (1967)

Below, some of our recommendations: "The United States of Comedy: 2035" by Conan O'Brien (Vanity Fair): The late-night comedian casts himself into a meme-demolished and pop culture-gone-power-mad dystopian (or is it utopian?) future.

Hide your kiddies! I just hit the set of NBC's increasingly addictive series The Event, and can tell you that there was some seriously messed-up shiznit going down with the children that has me very alarmed. This series is getting crazy good... Watch: See Kristin on E! News every Wednesday at 7 and 11:30 p.m.! "They're doing something next door you do not want to see," star Sarah Roemer (Leila) told me with a look of shock and horror, while taking a break from filming episode 10. "I don't even think there is one word that I can say about it because it is that big." Big, but it involves the wee little ones. (Recruits? Robots? Small Wonders?) We'll have to...
