Another change in the rules followed the OJ documentary.

Films are nominated based on Academy eligibility rules—namely, the films must run in theaters in both Los Angeles County and New York City, and cannot have previously aired on television or the Internet. This has led to some controversies. A documentary called ''Young Americans'' won the award for Best Documentary Feature of 1968 before it was discovered to have actually first played in 1967; the Oscar was revoked. Creator/MichaelMoore's ''Fahrenheit 9/11'', the highest grossing documentary film of all time and winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes, was ruled ineligible after Moore allowed it to be run on television before its theatrical run. Many other omissions have caused AwardSnub controversies. 1994 film ''Film/HoopDreams'', hailed as an instant classic and regarded as a possible Best Picture candidate that year, was not even nominated for Documentary Feature, causing the nomination process to be revised. Further revisions of the process in 2013 mandated a New York City release for candidate films, in addition to the Los Angeles County release required under general Academy rules.

The UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best {{Documentary}} Feature was first given out at the 1943 ceremony for films released in 1942. That first award was actually for [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness both feature documentaries and documentary shorts]], and featured ''four'' winners and 24 nominees. Starting with the next ceremony, for films released in 1943, a distinction was drawn between documentary features and documentary short films.
