This year, Sundance decided to forego a virtual ceremony and instead announced all of the 2022 winners via tweets from the festival’s official Twitter page. Following the lead of the prestigious festival’s second year totally virtual, reactions from winners and festival staff were shared on Twitter, too.

“This year’s Festival expressed a powerful convergence; we were present, together, as a community connected through the work. And it is work that has already changed those who experienced it,” festival director Tabitha Jackson said in a statement on Twitter Friday.

“This year’s entire program has proven that no matter the context, independent storytelling remains a pivotal tool in expanding critical dialogues, and these stories will and must be shared,” added Sundance Institute CEO Joana Vicente.

The Grand Jury Prize for the U.S. Dramatic Competition went to Nanny, directed by Nikyatu Jusu, while the category’s directing award went to Jamie Dack for Palm Trees and Power Lines.
