The best documentary short award went to "The Queen of Basketball," which director Ben Proudfoot accepted. The documentary, which is centreed on Lusia "Lucy" Harris, gave Proudfoot an opening to send a message to President Joe Biden about WNBA player Brittney Griner, who was detained at a Russian airport after officials claimed they found vape cartridges in her luggage. After acknowledging the magic of women's sports in his speech, Proudfoot closed with, "And one last thing: President Biden, bring Brittney Griner home. Thank you."
