2009 Sundance award winners

See this link for interviews and more.

There are two current movies called Push (and 9 others in the not-so-distant past). One is a sci-fi thriller starring Camilla Belle, Dakota Fanning, and Djimon Hounsou, opening soon in wide release. The other, an indie about a new low in dysfunctional families, has had its title amended to "Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire," and has won three Sundance awards, including one for actress Mo'Nique. UPDATE: the latter movie is now called Precious: Based on the Novel by Sapphire.
