The 2011 Sundance Film Festival has finally come to an end -- and we’ll be going over some of the more talked-about films this week – but in the meantime you might want to see who won all the big awards. Sundance is notorious for giving awards to films that don’t have distribution yet and deserve the extra praise. That’s not to say they aren’t good films – if it wins an award, it’s definitely worth your time – but it’s also why a lot of these may not look as familiar to you, because they weren’t covered as much.
The top prize for U.S. Competition is a film that actually does have distribution, but still deserves a whole ton of love. Starring Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones, Like Crazy follows the trials and tribulations over an 8-year span of two people in a long distance relationship. Meanwhile, on the documentary side, the big winner was How to Die in Oregon, which covers the controversial issue of physician-assisted suicide, and how it’s handled in a state like Oregon where it’s legal.
See the full list of winners below, and let us know if there are any titles that you’re really dying to see later this year or in 2012.
