The full winners below. Oddly enough, or perhaps keeping in character with Sundance Awards, none of the buzzed about films won any award. And in fact, one that was routinely trashed, Mark Ruffalo’s “Sympathy For Delicious” won a special prize. Though admittedly, “happythankyoumoreplease” was a crowd pleaser and won the Dramatic Audience Award and filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (“It Might Get Loud,” “An Inconvenient Truth”) won the Documentary Audience Award with his school system doc, “Waiting For A Superman.” Debra Granik’s “Winter’s Bone” — a film we barely heard about, won the top dramatic prize (and screenwriting award) and “Restrepo” a documentary we only vaguely recollect won the top doc award.
