Documentaries on PBS short-listed for Oscar nominations

Three PBS documentaries are on the short list for Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced. "Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould" premieres Dec. 27 on American Masters, "Waste Land” will air on Independent Lens in April 2011, and  “William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe” ran on P.O.V. this June. The Academy Awards nominations will be announced at 8:30 a.m. Eastern on Jan. 25, 2011, live from Los Angeles.

CORRECTION: Make that four PBS docs in the running for the coveted Oscar. Cynthia Lopez notes that P.O.V.'s "Enemies of the People" is also short-listed; that'll air next year.
