Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
The Dayton area has a big horse in the race for one of Hollywood’s biggest prizes for the third consecutive year.
Yellow Springs residents Steve Bognar and Julia Reichert’s “American Factory” has been nominated for the Academy Awards in the documentary feature category.
The announcement was made this morning.
The nomination comes as little surprise.
“American Factory,” a critic’s favorite, was named to the shortlist for the Oscar nomination in December.
The winning films will be announced Sunday, Feb. 9, at the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony.
This is the third year in a row the Miami Valley will have a direct connection to the awards.
Centerville High School graduate Hannah Beachler won the Oscar for Production Design last year for her work on Marvel’s “Black Panther” during the 91st Annual Academy Awards.
