For the Bible Tells Me So makes the Oscar short list

Earlier this week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named the 15 films it was considering in the Documentary Feature category. That list includes For the Bible Tells Me So, Daniel Karslake's film exploring the topic of Christianity and homosexuality.

Making the shortlist is a pretty big step towards walking away with the big gold guy: the current list of 15 was cut from 70 films. For the Bible Tells Me So's best-known competitor is Sicko. It also faces a number of war-themed documentaries including Body of War, which was co-directed by Phil Donahue.

Congrats to Daniel Karslake for making it this far. We're keeping our fingers crossed for him!
