Sundance1

 

Well...looking at this list of 'winners' - it seems that every film received some kind of award! It's getting a bit ridiculous. Sundance...are you going for the longest awards ceremony in recorded history?!?!

Seriously...the only awards that matter are: The Audience Awards - it's them who pay.

Commiserations to the losers...if - indeed - there were any at all.
