“Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck” Gets 7 Emmy Nominations
While there have been many differing opinions about the Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck 
documentary, it appears that the folks at the Emmy Awards enjoyed what they saw.
Today, it was revealed that the Brett Morgen-led film has received seven Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special; Outstanding Writing for Nonfiction Programming; and Outstanding Direction for Nonfiction Programming. (You can view all of the film’s nominations below.)
Meanwhile, the Foo Fighters documentary series, Sonic Highways, has received four Emmy nominations.
One person likely not impressed by these nominations would be Buzz Osborne. The founder of Melvins and long-time friend of Cobain was very candid about his distaste for Montage of Heck.
“My problem with the whole thing is that they decided to do a documentary and put it out there like it’s true,” said Osborne during an interview with Riffyou.com. “Well, there are some people out here who don’t believe that. And I am one of them. And I have reason not to believe it.”
He continued: “If people want to question me and they want to question my authenticity, [I’d say] ‘why would I defend him (Kurt) in a way that makes him look better?’ They want to portray him in a way that makes him look worse. To be offended by that is really weird. I question their motives.”
