02:11Like El Mar, Mi Camino is a song of emancipation.
02:25Spanish is such a great language for pop music.
02:32And Selena's radiance makes it happen.
02:35We need to believe that she's singing on top of that song that everybody knows.
02:43So it had to feel familiar and at the same time something you can dance to.
02:55Ladies and gentlemen, they're such good friends that sometimes they trade middle initials just for fun.
03:00Please welcome Oscar winner Samuel M. Jackson and Selena L. Gomez!
03:05We're here to present both documentary categories.
03:08Don't you love documentaries? I love them because they're powerful, they open our eyes, expand our minds, and they're stories that need to be told.
03:27And I love documentaries because they're the best shortcut to being the smartest person in the room.
03:32And they do all the research, they create powerful stories, and I get to impress everyone at dinner parties.
03:40Well, exactly. I mean, it's like being the person in the group project that did nothing but gets the A.
03:46Were you an A student or something?
03:49No, that's why we're both here. But let's get to this stuff.
03:52Here are the nominees for Best Documentary Short Film.
03:54Death by Numbers, Kim A. Schneider and Janique L. Roviar.

04:33The only girl in the orchestra, Molly O'Brien and Lisa Remington.
04:37This is the first Oscar win and nomination for Molly O'Brien and Lisa Remington.
04:52Oh, wow. Thank you to the Academy. It is such an honor to be here.
05:12As Orne O'Brien, the star of The Only Girl in the Orchestra likes to say, music helps us organize our emotions.
05:22And there are a lot of emotions that need organizing these days.
05:26Film does the same thing.
05:28Art makes order and gives meaning out of the chaos we're living through.
05:33I'd like to thank the Secular Society.
05:41I'd like to thank Netflix, Adam Del Deo, Chloe Bai, Lisa Tabak.
05:47And to the cellist turned filmmaker, Mr. L. Morris.
05:52Thank you all for giving this film its lift.
05:55I'm honored and privileged to be in a room with all these people who understand that art is giving meaning to the chaos we're living through.
06:02Right now.
06:05Most importantly, I'd like to thank my family.
06:08John, Sadie, Bea, Benson, as well as my Aunt Orne, my inspiration and now yours too.
06:15And our female team, all female team who's here.
06:18Thank you so much.
06:19Thank you so much.
06:33And now here are the nominees for Best Documentary Feature Film.
06:37Black Box Diaries.
06:40Shiorito, Eric Niari, and Hannah Akvelin.
06:45It's been six months since I became this girl who was raped.
06:49No other land.
06:50No other land.
06:51Asal Adra, Rachel Shor, Hamdan Balal, and Yuval Abraham.
06:56Horseland War, Brendan Bellamo, Slawa Lointia, Anjela Sidorska, and Paula Dupree Pestman.
07:07We are not only fighting weapons, we use art to fight.
07:14Soundtrack to a coup d'etat.
07:16Johan Kremampere, Don Milius, and Remy Grilty.
07:21He said, well, you have to assassinate Lumumba.
07:24Sugarcane, Julian Brave Noisecat, Emily Cassie, and Kellen Quinn.
07:29If they think we'd be stupid all of our lives, then nobody would ever find out these things.
07:40And the Oscar goes to...
07:43No Other Land.
07:49This is the first Oscar and nomination for Basel Adra, Rachel Shor, Hamdan Balal,
07:58and Yuval Abraham.
08:21Thank you to the Academy for the Award.
08:23It's such a big honor for the four of us and everybody supported us for this documentary.
08:27About two months ago, I became a father and my hope to my daughter that she will not have
08:32to live the same life I am living now, always feeling...
08:38Always...
08:41Always feeling settlers' violence, home demolitions, and forest pill displacements
08:47that my community, Masafriyatta, is living and facing every day under the Israeli occupation.
08:52No Other Land reflects the harsh reality that we have been enduring for decades and still
09:01resist as we call on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice and to stop the
09:07ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people.
09:09We made this film, Palestinians and Israelis, because together our voices are stronger.
09:24We see each other the atrocious destruction of Gaza and its people which must end.
09:31The Israeli hostages brutally taken in the crime of October 7th, which must be freed.
09:37When I look at Basel, I see my brother, but we are unequal.
09:42We live in a regime where I am free, under civilian law, and Basel is under military laws that destroy his life and he cannot control.
09:49There is a different path, a political solution, with our ethnic supremacy, with national rights for both of our people.
09:58And I have to say, as I am here, the foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path.
10:04You know, why? Can't you see that we are intertwined?
10:16That my people can be truly safe if Basel's people are truly free and safe?
