Additional winners include Up in the animated category, Grey Gardens for TV movie, The Cove for documentary and Joss Whedon received the Vanguard Award. Also, as previously announced in November, Precious nabbed the Stanley Kramer Award commemorating films that shed light on provocative social issues in an accessible and elevating fashion
