The 2006 film Quinceañera also won the Sundance U.S. Dramatic Audience Award.
The film, directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, received both the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. These are distinct honors: one is chosen by a festival jury, while the other reflects audience voting.
Its story follows Magdalena, a teenager in Los Angeles preparing for her quinceañera while facing conflict within her family and community. The celebration provides the film’s cultural framework, but the plot also addresses family acceptance, religion, sexuality, and social expectations.
Because the film won two awards at the same festival, summaries sometimes mention only the Grand Jury Prize. The additional Audience Award is a separate, specifically named honor and is the answer to this question.
