The 2006 Nonfiction Feature Honor Roll

Herewith begins a tally of shortlists, nominations and awards for nonfiction features for 2006 from the big 4 (Oscars, Spirit Awards, IDAs and Gothams) as well as the major critics groups, begun today in honor of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's decision to add an award for Animated Feature and yet still not have an award for Nonfiction Feature.  (Ah, one of these days I'll tell my stories of working on the Golden Globes as one of my first jobs in Los Angeles...) 

This alphabetical list will be updated as more critics groups make their choices:
