Amy won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars last night.

The Asif Kapadia-directed documentary, a behind-the-scenes look at Amy Winehouse’s life proved controversial and remains so with family members including most significantly the Back to Black singer’s father Mitch but received great reviews and this accolade is the topping on the cake.

It was nominated along with Cartel Land, The Look of Silence, What Happened, Miss Simone?, and Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom.

The director commented as he collected the award: “This is for Amy’s fans who loved her through thick and thin.”
