STORIES WE TELL? THE ACT OF KILLING? No, it was Jehane Noujaim’s THE SQUARE that took the IDA’s top prize from under the Oscar frontrunners’ noses. One of the Academy’s fifteen shortlisted documentaries and winner of the Sundance Audience Award, this is a notable win for Netflix’s first film acquisition.
As there aren’t a great deal of categories on offer, I’ve included the television wins, which include Morgan Spurlock’s INSIDE MAN.
