Most surprising is to find that the Producers Guild of America didn't nominate the documentary that many -including me- was expecting to win the Oscar: Citizenfour. Strange and hope to learn soon the reason why this documentary was snubbed; let's hope is nothing related to the gender of the doc director. Sigh.
