Netflix Patriot Act, starring Hasan Minhaj, also won in the entertainment category for its comedic and insightful commentary on some of the country’s hotbed issues.

Honored in the documentary category are producers Diane Quon and Bing Liu for Minding the Gap. The film which also was nominated for an Academy Award follows the lives of three skateboarders as they grow up.
