‘Fruitvale’ and ‘Blood Brother’ take home both Grand Jury and Audience Awards at Sundance Film Festival

The 2013 Sundance Film Festival came to an official close with its awards ceremony held tonight at the Basin Recreation Fieldhouse just north of Park City, which for the past ten days has been under siege by Hollywood executives, distributors, celebrities, journalists and movie-goers looking to catch this year's program of independent films.

"Fruitvale" emerged as this year's big winner as it won both the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for Drama and the Audience Award for U.S. Drama. The film, which has been referred to as "the next 'Beasts of the Southern Wild,'" tells the true story of Oscar, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family and strangers on the last day of 2008.

"This will not be the last time you guys walk to a podium,” said former Fox studio executive Tom Rothman as he gave out the Grand Jury award to the "Fruitvale" team, including a very emotional Ryan Coogler, the film's director.

"Blood Brother" followed suit by scoring both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award for Documentary. Director Steve Hoover's film follows Rocky, a man who travelled to India as a disillusioned tourist but ended up staying after he met a group of children with HIV.

Other notable winners include Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller, who took home the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Acting for their work in the high school drama, "The Spectacular Now"; Bradford Young, who won the U.S. Dramatic Cinematography Award for "Ain't Them Bodies Saints"; and Shane Carruth and Johnny Marshall, who won the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Sound Design for "Upstream Color."

Sundance has more awards than Park City has annual inches of snow, but host Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who premiered his writing and directing debut "Don Jon's Addiction" at this year's fest, had it all wrapped up in 90 minutes. The entire list of winners can be found below.
