Acclaimed documentaries from Werner Herzog, Errol Morris, Morgan Spurlock and Steve James have missed out on a shot at the Academy Awards.

Herzog's Into the Abyss, Morris' Tabloid, Spurlock's The Greatest Movie Ever Sold and James' The Interrupters did not make the short list of 15 documentaries eligible for the feature-length prize at the February 26 Oscars.

Among the films that made the list, released on Friday by the Academy, are: Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, Wim Wenders' Pina, the Harry Belafonte profile Sing Your Song and Project Nim, directed by Oscar winner James Marsh. Oscar nominations come out on January 24.
