In a stunning display of boundary-pushing diversity, the 96th Academy Awards’ documentary category features a lineup so globally inclusive that even members of the International Space Station reportedly felt represented. This year’s five nominees include “Mr. Nobody Against Putin,” “The Perfect Neighbor,” and frontrunner “Sweet Honey, North Wind: The Left-Handed Icelandic Beekeepers’ Struggle,” the first film in Oscar history to feature only vegan snacks at its premiere, a crew allergic to Wi-Fi, and all dialogue in Esperanto with subtitles in Morse code.

“We really wanted to highlight stories that have never been told, ideally because no one has ever wanted to tell them,” said Academy spokesperson Janine Duvall, clutching a map of the world’s remaining untouched documentary subjects. “If a film doesn’t include at least three dialects, a goat therapist, and six hours of drone footage over abandoned parking lots, it simply isn’t Oscar material anymore.”

Director Fjola Fjoladóttir, whose documentary chronicling the struggles of left-handed Icelandic beekeepers received widespread acclaim, commented, “We wanted to show the world the unique pain of harvesting honey backwards in sub-Arctic tundra. Our hope is that viewers feel both inspired and extremely confused.”

Netflix’s nominee “The Perfect Neighbor,” a two-part, 16-hour examination of suburban mailbox etiquette in New Jersey, was described by critic Lionel Prentiss as “so balanced it actually contains zero opinions.”

The Academy assured voters that next year’s category will be even more internationally diverse, with rumors already circulating about a Lithuanian-Kenyan co-production on the underreported lives of vegan sumo wrestlers.
