The documentary "The Act of Killing," which explores the 1965-66 mass killings in Indonesia, is favored to win an Oscar over Jeremy Scahill's "Dirty Wars." The film features perpetrators reenacting their crimes and highlights US complicity in the extermination of nearly a million people. The hosts contrast the "sincere" filmmaking of Joshua Oppenheimer with the perceived "lightweight" and self-promotional nature of Scahill's work.
