Yes, really. Why not? Us Washingtonians have been thru the fucking ringer this year so far (if you hadn’t noticed). Why not celebrate positive portrayals of our city?

The second I clicked on this thread, I just knew there’d be some sort of snarky comment about these awards. Every single year.
I don't make snarky comments.

I was referring to the winner, not the award, but if you think Wonder Woman 1984 is a better choice than any of the nominated documentaries, so be it.

Let me jump in by saying that any awards body that singles such piece of garbage as Ma Rayne’s whatever should be mocked.
