On the occasion, the Juri of the Embratel Press Award gave Honorable Mention to the work "Falcão - meninos do tráfico" (Falcão, the traffic boys) shown last March in the Fantástico Globo TV show, which was considered hors concours, since no reporters were engaged in its production, though it involved an exhaustive work of survey, editing, script and finishing, producing over 120 hours of film.
