Minding the Gap Leads This Year’s Cinema Eye Honors Nominees
Minding the Gap The non-fiction-centric awards body Cinema Eye Honors announced its nominees for 2018, ranging over 10 categories, such as directing, production, cinematography and, of course, Outstanding Achievement in Nonfiction Feature Filmmaking. Among the biggest recipients is Bing Liu’s Minding the Gap, which raked up a total of seven nominations — the most of any title this year. Others with multiple nominees include Robert Greene’s Bisbee ’17, RaMell Ross’ Hale County This Morning, This Evening and Sandi Tan’s Shirkers.
The winners will be announced at the 2019 Honors Awards Ceremony on January 10, 2019, which will be held at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, New York. The host, as in the last three years, will be award-winning filmmaker Steve James, most recently seen with the Starz doc series America to Me.
2018 has been an unusually strong year for non-fiction films at the box office, with three films crossing the $10 million mark domestically (so far), including Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, RBG and Three Identical Strangers.
