'Nothing Compares' - Sinéad O'Connor doc wins prestigious Rose d'Or award

Nothing Compares, the documentary chronicling Sinéad O'Connor's life has won the Rose d'Or Award for Arts in London on Monday night. 

The Rose d'Or Awards celebrates international excellence in entertainment programming.

The docu-film by director Kathryn Ferguson, follows Sinéad's troubled upbringing through to the controversial events that shot her to fame.

Following the win, director Ferguson said:

"It was a huge privilege to make Nothing Compares and to do so with Sinéad's blessing.

"As I'm sure you're all very aware, we lost her this summer which was devastating.

"Ironically, It seems she had to pass for the full impact of her bravery, her extraordinary talent and her importance as a truth-teller to be fully realised and appreciated."
