2010 Sundance Film Festival Winners Announced
quick takeGrand Jury gives top prize to a film by 2004 "Dramatic Directing" award winner Debra Granik. Full list of winners after the jump.
Winners of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival were announced recently, with Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington's Restrepo taking home the Grand Jury Prize in the documentary category, and Debra Granik's Winter's Bone winning the Grand Jury Prize in the dramatic category.
You may remember Granik, the independent filmmaker who burst onto the Sundance scene in 2004, claiming the Dramatic Directing award for her first feature-length film, Down to the Bone. Despite its phenomenal reputation, Granik's big screen debut grossed a meager $30,000. Let's hope Winter's Bone turns out to be an anomaly in the director's rather minuscule line of work.
A comprehensive list of all the winners this year can be seen after the jump.
