This year, the big contender was director/writer Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale, which picked up both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Awards in the U.S. Dramatic Competition.

I haven't seen "Titanic" because I know how it ends, the boat sinks... I guess I'll save another $10....

Congrats on the win, I guess.

 

[CoorsLight]

Heard about his on NPR. Very cool.

BTW if you meant to suggest with your bold text that it's a great accomplishment for one to win both the Grand Jury and Audience awards, it's actually not uncommon for Sundance.

If she gets out of a wet Gidget style bikini I may have to reconsider...

With his lifestyle choices Oskar was bound to end up dead. Not a big loss to society.

 

[VicTim]

I'll probably see it when it comes out.

Amazing. An epic picture about a drunken loser who picked fights and resisted arrest, resulting in an accidental shooting. How in the world do these bums end up being heroes? For fuck sake, how about some real hero figures?

Does your lifestyle choice grant you immortality?

Sister Bertrille? Don't be talkin' bout Sister Bertrille. Sally Field was the subject of many a pound.

You mean like being honest, law abiding citizen of this great country? No, of course not. Chances of me being accidentally shot while resisting arrest? Zero.

When getting accidentally shot and charged with resisting arrest is entirely in the hands of a 3rd party, how can you be so sure?
