The Oscars Best Documentary Feature race, which set a new record for entries in December when it passed the previous record of 170, has now left all previous years in the dust with 240 eligible films.
An additional 25 documentary features were placed in the members-only online screening room devoted to the category on Saturday, in what the Academy told voters would be “the final batch” of this year’s entries. It was the last of seven groups of documentaries that qualified and were placed into the screening room: 25 in July, 12 in August, 16 in September, 33 in October, 36 in November, a huge group of 93 in December and now 25 in January.

Though this year’s SXSW was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the film festival held annually in Austin, Texas announced 2020 award winners.
Cooper Raiff’s comedy “Shithouse” has won the SXSW Grand Jury Award in the narrative feature competition, and Katrine Philip’s “An Elephant in the Room” took home the top prize for documentary features.
SXSW announced the recipients of its 12 jury awards Tuesday, two days after the 27th annual festival was expected to end. This year’s event was originally scheduled for March 13 through March 22. Prior to its cancellation, the SXSW Film Festival had several special awards juries already in place, and expanded to all juried competitions once the majority of the filmmakers opted in and juries were available.
