Sundance Announces 2010 Award Winners: ANIMAL KINGDOM, THE RED CHAPEL, RESTREPO, and WINTER’S BONE Earn Grand Jury Prizes

Sundance has announced the 2010 Award Winning films and Animal Kingdom, The Red Chapel, Restrepo, and Winter’s Bone earned Grand Jury Prizes while Contracorriente, happythankyoumoreplease, Waiting For Superman, and Wasteland won the Audience Awards.  Also, Homewrecker won Best of the NEXT Award.

While I attended the Sundance Film Festival for over a week and saw 20 something films, the only film I managed to catch from the above list was happythankyoumoreplease yesterday afternoon.  But after my screening ended, the audience was clapping.  Clearly, people really liked the film and since it hasn’t sold yet, winning the audience award should help Josh Radnor’s film land distribution.  Also, it’s a really sweet romcom with a good cast.  Hit the jump for more on the Awards winners including the complete list:

2010 Sundance Film Festival Out-of-Competition Films: Next

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 3rd, 2009 at 2:51 pm

Yesterday we gave you a list of all the films playing in-competition at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.  We now have the list of the films playing out-of-competition and they’re divided up into four categories: Premieres, Next, Spotlight, and Park City at Midnight. Since combining these lists would be a lot to read for just one article, we’ve broken it up to make it easier on your eyes.  You’re welcome.

The “Next” category features filmmakers and actors you’ve probably never heard of before, but that doesn’t mean these films aren’t worth seeing.  On the contrary, because there are only eight of them, folks attending the festival may want to find some time to try and check a couple out because part of what makes film festivals so great is you can discover a hidden game and bring it to the attention of others.  Check out the list of films along with a brief synopsis for each after the jump.
