The 2024 Sundance Film Festival awards ceremony honoring the best of this year’s lineup in Park City is in progress right now at the Ray Theatre. Refresh frequently as the winners are announced.

Winners of juried prizes will be announced across five Sundance competition sections: U.S. Dramatic Competition, U.S. Documentary Competition, World Cinema Dramatic Competition, World Cinema Documentary Competition and the Next lineup.

This year’s juries are comprised of Debra Granik, Adrian Tomine, and Lena Waithe (U.S. Dramatic Competition); Shane Boris, Nicole Newnham and Rudy Valdez (U.S. Documentary Competition); Anita Gou, Mira Nair and Rui Poças (World Cinema Dramatic Competition); Mandy Chang, Monica Hellström and Shaunak Sen (World Cinema Documentary Competition) and Zal Batmanglij (Next).

Already this year, the festival has handed out its Alfred P, Sloan Science-In-Film Initiative’s feature film prize to Love Me, the U.S. Dramatic Competition pic written and directed by Sam and Andy Zuchero. Set in a post-human world, it centers on a love story between two AI-driven objects — an ocean buoy and a space satellite — voiced by Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun.

Last year, the top winners included The Persian Version, which claimed the Audience Award and Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award in U.S. Dramatic Competition, and A.V.
