I'm glad that the organization, (now in year three I believe?) has a set in stone manner in which to evaluate the best of the best in doc films, something in which the Oscars have proved to be inadequate in acknowledging. - Having never asked any filmmaker the question of how the Cinema Eye Honors are perceived within the documentary filmmaker community, I'd be willing to bet that its quickly become a welcomed, annual celebration of the form. I'm glad that the organization, (now in year three I believe?) has a set in stone manner in which to evaluate the best of the best in doc films, something in which the Oscars have proved to be inadequate in acknowledging. The cut-off point appears to be before this year's Tiff, which means a doc like Chris Smith's Collapse, which only receives its theatrical release in November, won't make the cut until next year,...

PARK CITY -- "Man on Wire", James Marsh's documentary look at Philippe Petit's 1974 tightrope walk between the Twin Towers, took home both the Grand Jury and the Audience Prize in the World Cinema category Saturday at the Sundance Film Festival.
In other top prizes, Courtney Hunt's single-mother immigrant drama "Frozen River" scored the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and Jonathan Levine's coming-of-age dramedy "The Wackness", in which a young pot dealer in mid-'90s New York finds a mentor and customer in his shrink, took home the Dramatic Feature Audience award.
Sony Pictures Classics was a double-winner in its own right -- it picked up North American rights to both of those films during the fest.
The U.K.-produced "Wire" had not yet found a U.S. distributor as of Saturday evening, though a deal was expected as early as this week. Director Marsh thanked the jury and audience. "You've got impeccable taste", he quipped.
Also at the ceremony, the grand jury handed best documentary to Tia Lessin's and Carl Deal's Hurricane Katrina docu "Trouble the Water", which uses extensive footage from before and after the 2005 disaster to expose the real stories of the hurricane's impact on New Orleans.
Lessin told the crowd of a different kind of debut -- the birth of a baby this week to Kimberly Rivers-Roberts and Scott Roberts, two characters featured in the film.
The Audience Award for best documentary went to Josh Tickell's "Fields of Fuel", the portrait of a man fighting the oil industry.
