It was Oscar presenter Louis C K’s favorite award of the evening during this year’s ceremony.

“This is the one Academy Award that has the opportunity to change a life,” he said. “These people will never be rich as long as they live. So this Oscar means something, because all they do is tell stories that are important.”

The Oscar, for Documentary (Short Subject), went to Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy for A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness, a film about honor killings in Pakistan.
