Óscar á mellor curtametraxe documental

O **Oscar á mellor curtametraxe documental** é un premio entregado pola Academia das Artes e das Ciencias Cinematográficas como parte dos premios Oscar.

Unha nota de prensa da Academia en 2005 indicaba que "os gañadores do premio á mellor curtametraxe documental *Benjy* (1951) e *Neighbours* (1952) están nun grupo de filmes que non só competiron, senón que gañaron Oscars en categorías inadecuadas.  *Benjy*, dirixida por Fred Zinnemann e narrada por Henry Fonda é un conto ficticio sobre un rapaz discapacitado. O filme foi empregado para conseguir fondos para o Los Angeles Orthopedic Hospital.  (...) *Neighbours*, de Norman McLaren, que hoxe competiría na categoría de curtametraxes de animación, empregaba "pixelación" – animación usando actores – para crear unha alegoría da guerra".
