Quincy Jones doc “Quincy” won the award for best music documentary. On the TV side, winners included “The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling” (best limited documentary series) and “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” (best ongoing documentary series). In addition to the competitive awards, at the Bill Nye-hosted ceremony at BRIC, Michael Moore was honored with the lifetime achievement award, presented by Robert De Niro. Documentarian Stanley Nelson won the Critics’ Choice Impact Award, presented by last year’s recipient Joe Berlinger. The Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards, presented to projects from film and TV, are determined by qualified members of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association.(SD-Agencies) |
