The veteran documentary producer will bring the award back to Toronto and hand it over to Gould estate executor Stephen Posen.

Gould, an acclaimed Canadian pianist who died in 1982 at age 50 years, won four Grammys during his enigmatic career and after his death.

Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould in 2011 made it onto the Oscar shortlist for best long form documentary after a successful North American theatrical release.
