"The way seemed clear for ['Hoop Dreams' to win] an Academy Award as best documentary. Then a shameful thing happened. It wasn’t even nominated. We learned... that the members of the committee had a system. They carried little flashlights. When one gave up on a film, he waved a light on the screen. When a majority of flashlights had voted, the film was switched off. 'Hoop Dreams' was stopped after 15 minutes."
