Question of the Day: Best documentary

Wednesday February 1, 2006
"Murderball," the rollicking, R-rated documentary about wheelchair rugby players, made the cut to become one of the final five nominees for a Best Documentary Oscar. If you want to get a little sampling of what the film is about, you can view a trailer online; and if you're interested but put off by the rating, you can order a PG version from the U.S. Quad Rugby Association. But will you be rooting for "Murderball" to win on March 5 — providing a nice counterpoint to last year's Best Picture winner, "Million Dollar Baby," and its alleged "better dead than disabled" message — or have those darn penguins just captured your heart? Click on an answer that applies, then use your browser's back button to pick more than one.
1) Yes! Hooray for positive films on disabilities!
2) Yes, it's a nice rebuttal to the "Million Dollar Baby" win last year
3) Yes, although I'm not sure I'd actually want to watch it
4) I guess. What else is nominated?
5) No way! Go, "March of the Penguins"!
6) No, there's a non-wheelchair and non-penguin doc I like
7) I really haven't a clue about any of the documentaries
8) Documentaries? Who cares?
9) Oscars? Who cares?
10) Other
