Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Academy Award winners and best friends Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have a shot at more Oscar recognition for producing the documentary “Kiss the Future.” Variety has learned exclusively the Academy has granted eligibility to the documentary feature for consideration for the upcoming 97th Oscars.

The decision follows an initial ruling by the Academy’s Documentary Branch Executive Committee that deemed the film ineligible, citing a shortfall in meeting required daily theatrical screening showtimes per the Academy’s regulations.
