O.J.: MADE IN AMERICA IS BFCA'S BEST DOC OF 2016

So, given 13th's entry both in the Theatrical category and the TV / Streaming category in the first ever Critics' Choice Documentary Awards, it was perhaps inevitable that it'd fail to take home the former top award but succeed to take home the latter. And so it did, with a fellow race-themed doc, O.J.: Made in America, winning the big prize in the Theatrical category. This is the BFCA's first time separating its Best Documentary award out from the remainder of its many others, and indeed adding several more awards for doc filmmaking - a wise move, I believe, saving the filmmakers from the ignominy of picking up an award on the Critics' Choice red carpet or during a commercial break, and providing several more to win BFCA awards.
