The Academy Awards are just days away before we find out who wins for best Documentary Feature film.
But if the LA Times is right, Detroiters will be pretty darn proud.
The paper predicts "Searching for Sugar Man" will win.
The Times writes:
In a tight category with five worthy nominees, we'll give the edge to the popular movie, even though, in theory (and hopefully still in practice), academy members must watch all five nominees to vote. "Sugar Man's" story of the resurrection of an obscure early '70s troubador has won the hearts of many voters, with some going so far as to call it their favorite film of the year. And while the academy typically favors advocacy docs like "The Cove" and "An Inconvenient Truth," sometimes a great story like the one told in "Sugar Man" is good enough to carry the day — as "Man on Wire" did in 2009.
