The 7th Annual Critics Choice Documentary Awards, hosted by Wyatt Cenac, are taking place tonight at the Edison Ballroom in New York.

Fire of Love heads into the evening with seven nominations with Good Night Oppy following right behind with six nominations.

For those not able to attend the ceremony in person, there is a live stream available to watch on both Facebook and YouTube starting at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT. National Geographic Documentary Films is the presenting sponsor. Peacock is the catalyst sponsor.

I’ll be posting updates throughout the ceremony.

Wyatt Cenac gets in a dig at Kyrie Irving as he points out the negatives of documentaries. He also puts in a dig at Elon Musk and the new Twitter verification process. Cenac is really bringing the comedy in his monologue.
