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.
In a procedural review, the Academy’s Awards Committee re-evaluated “Kiss the Future” as part of its commitment to fairness and inclusion in the eligibility process.
The committee ultimately reversed the initial ruling, citing the film’s release on more than 100 screens across multiple markets as evidence of its wide release intent, which aligns with the Academy’s objective to foster theatrical experiences for moviegoers.
