According to Movie News Guide, the news about the documentary, "Amy", winning the Grammys spread like wild-fire last Monday evening. The Recording Academy announced the winner in a Twitter post, ahead of the live telecast, reports the website. The documentary which is directed by Asif Kapadia and produced by James Gay-Rees was released July of last year. The documentary narrates about Amy Winehouse's career and personal life which also featured real footages of the renowned singer.
However, Amy's father doesn't take the success of the documentary to heart. According to the report, the documentary only showed one side of Amy. He recently answered the BAFTA winning with a Tweet:
Please don't congratulate me on the Amy film winning BAFTA. This is a one dimensional, miserable and misleading portrayal of Amy.
