The 2026 Oscar documentary feature nominees represent a balanced mix of international and American stories, with four of five films addressing urgent current events including Russia's authoritarianism, Iran's women's rights issues, and America's criminal justice system. Netflix's "The Perfect Neighbor," about a neighbor's killing of a Black mother, has emerged as a strong contender after winning multiple guild nominations alongside competitors "Mr. Nobody Against Putin" and "The Alabama Solution."
