Hot Docs Awards Night

HAW! Host George Stroumboulopoulos shows off his moves at the start of the Hot Docs Awards Ceremony. The full list of awards winners, honourable mentions and an archive of past winners can be found here. The Audience Award will be announced on Monday after the votes are counted.

This year, Street Fight (screening again tonight at the Bloor at 9:30pm) won Best International Documentary and Hogtown: The Politics of Policing (directed by Min Sook Lee, right) won Best Canadian Feature Length Documentary. Hogtown is showing again on Sunday at 2pm at the Bloor Cinema.



Festival Co-chairs, Louise Lore and Michael McMahon, introduce this year's Outstanding Achievement Award winner, Errol Morris. Morris (left, accepting the award) appears in an on-stage interview tonight with film critic Gerald Peary.

The Awards Presentation was followed by a party at UofT's Victoria College.
