Scorsese
Martin Scorsese's two-part TV documentary, "Bob Dylan - No Direction Home," scooped documentary prize at Blighty's Broadcasting Press Guild awards on Thursday.
Of the 14 awards doled out, 12 went to the BBC and Channel 4.
The event's big winner was the BBC's reworking of Dickens' "Bleak House," screened last fall in 30-minute episodes, which won drama series and thesp honors for Gillian Anderson and Charles Dance.
In a thank-you message read, at the awards lunch at London's Theater Royal by "Bob Dylan" docu co-producer and BBC helmer Anthony Wall, Scorsese said the pic's themes still resonated today.
