1. I have seen one of these five and I'm willing to bet that the other four will be left wanting...

Unless I'm mistaken, "An Inconvenient Truth" will have it locked up on February 25, 2006.

Warm regards,

2. I could be mistaken, but I feel sorry for the other nominees.

An Inconvenient Truth is so on target with such an important issue that the others, which are probably very good, won't have much of a chance this year.

4. I think "Iraq in Fragments" is a possibility, with long odds.

5. Which documentary is the most important on a global scale?

An Inconvenient Truth should win hands down.
