Taylor Swift and Beyoncé will be releasing their concert films soon which are anticipated to create Oscar buzz.

There are two documentary films that could’ve been nominated for the Documentary Branch of the 96th Academy Awards: Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé. 

Both films, however, do not qualify under the current guidelines. 

This category defines a documentary as: “A theatrically released nonfiction motion picture dealing creatively with cultural, artistic, historical, social, scientific, economic, or other topics.”.

In addition, it specifies that the film can be photographed in “actual occurrence” as long as it focuses on fact rather than fiction.

Regardless, neither film made it by the deadline for documentary features on October 2.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour will feature the pop star’s $2 billion stadium tour.

While Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, based on Beyoncé’s musical performances, will show footage of the 32-time Grammy Award winner rehearsing with her daughter Blue Ivy and husband Jay-Z and their twins Rumi and Sir.
