O.J.: Made in America continued it early awards run tonight, scoring the Best Feature prize at the 32nd annual IDA Documentary Awards. Picked up a total of four trophies including Best Limited Series (Making a Murder), Best Episodic Series (Last Chance U), Best Short (The White Helmet) and the ABC News VideoSource Award for Ava Duvernay’s 13th.
The win was just the latest for Ezra Edleman’s 7 1/2-hour O.J.: Made in America, from Laylow Films and ESPN Films. It also has picked up hardware from the Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards, the New York Film Critics Circle and the AFI Awards and is on the shortlist for a Feature Documentary Oscar nom.
