Documetaries barely get any respect from movie critics since its a sub genre of film especially TV documentaries.

The Act of Killing is a documentary and it's rated 14th by this list, though.

But that is a theatrical documentary those get a bit more respecet then televison documentaries the Acadamey Awards has two documentary categories long and short documentary.  The Emmy's don't have a category for television documentaries as far as I know Ken Burns is the only person that ever won an Emmy for a television documentary.
