O.J.: Made in America is a 2016 documentary directed by Ezra Edelman, released as a five-part miniseries running about seven and a half hours, that traces O.J. Simpson's life from football stardom through his celebrity years, his trial and acquittal for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, and his later conviction for armed robbery in Las Vegas. Made as part of ESPN's 30 for 30 series, it situates Simpson's story within the broader history of race, celebrity and police relations in Los Angeles. It won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, becoming both the longest film ever nominated for an Oscar and the longest to win one, and it received near universal critical acclaim for the depth and balance of its account.
