Not that it really matters, BUT I have never even heard of the "Global TV Demand Awards."
Anywho, Dan Reed doesn't what some no named award. Dan Reed wanted to win ALL of the Best Director Awards, so just like Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic, Reed could stand at the front of the ship, while screaming: "I'm The King Of The World!!!"
I don't know who wants to be an International Superstar more: Reed or Robson!
To prove your point, almost unbelievably, LN is apparently in the running for yet another award (I expect this one might be another self-nominated award):
LN should be disqualified from all doc awards, as the stories are most certainly not 'non-fiction'.
IDA Documentary Awards: ‘Leaving Neverland’, ‘American Factory’, ‘Apollo 11’ & ‘For Sama’ Among Contenders
The nominees for the 2019 International Documentary Association (IDA) Awards have been unveiled, with several of this year’s most high-profile docs in the frame.
HBO’s Leaving Neverland, which is currently embroiled in a lawsuit from the estate of Michael Jackson, is up for best multi-part documentary.
The IDA received 785 submissions including 375 documentary features, 153 documentary shorts, 124 documentary series, 89 student films, 48 music documentaries and 44 podcasts. A record 40% of submissions were international productions or co-productions.
“The IDA Documentary Awards recognizes excellence in nonfiction storytelling across a range of forms, and all of this year’s nominees and winners illustrate that documentary storytelling is one of the most vital art forms today,” said Simon Kilmurry, executive director of the IDA.
“With the addition of the Best Director Award, the IDA is making an important statement. We felt the need to more clearly acknowledge the creativity and bold directorial vision that is behind many of the films we are privileged to consider. We hope that this award recognizes the fact that documentary directing is a vital and unique art form,” he added.
The 2019 IDA Documentary Awards ceremony will take place on December 7 at Paramount Studios in LA.
