The International Documentary Assosication have announced the winners of their 36th annual awards, with Netflix’s Crip Camp coming away with the top prize. The ceremony, hosted by Willie Garson, was held virtually this year. Other big prizes included Best Director, which was awarded to Garrett Bradley for Time, the Netflix series Last Chance U winning Best Episodic Series, and Kirsten Johnson’s Dick Johnson Is Dead given two awards for Best Editing and Best Writing.
The IDA also handed out honorary awards, including the Career Achievement Award for MLK/FBI director Sam Pollard, and an Emerging Documentary Filmmaker Award for Garrett Bradley.
Recent winners for Best Feature from the IDA include For Sama and Minding the Gap, both of which went on to earn Oscar nods for Best Documentary Feature. That should be a good sign for Crip Camp.
